BLISS KNITTING PATTERN

Did you know that "bliss" means perfect happiness? That's exactly what this sweater represents. When I finally found inspiration to create new designs, there was no doubt that Bliss was going out into the world, spreading joy, love and colour!

This time I have been inspired by flowers, and their ability to return year after year. To heal, grow, spread its leaves and really shine! It was not enough to make just one garment in this style, and I have therefore created a whole Flower-Power collection which contains several sweaters in different shapes, designs and assembly techniques. Bliss is the first to be released, and with its retro expression in both colors and shape, it is completely in style with my love of the eighties and nineties. The jumper has an oversized fit with stitched sleeves and is knitted in delicious Norwegian sheep wool from Hillesvåg or Rauma. I hope you color it just the way you want. In the pattern you will find inspiration for various color combinations.
