Annemor

Introducing the Annemor jacket, an easy-to-wear, open front jacket designed with a relaxed, slightly boxy fit that offers both comfort and style. This beautifully crafted piece is inspired by the rich interweaving of Shetland and Norwegian knitting cultures, a heritage that I first discovered through the work of the talented Annemor Sundbo.

The unique colourwork edgings featured on the Annemor jacket draw inspiration from the stunning design of Suffragette found in The Vintage Shetland Project. To further enhance its aesthetic, I have incorporated a traditional all-over Norwegian motif, creating a stunning visual contrast. Both the front and sleeves of this lovely jacket are steeked, a technique that adds both durability and a professional finish to the garment. The pattern also includes ribbed facings at the bottom of the body, sleeves, and sides, ensuring a polished and elegant look.

This stylish Annemor jacket is expertly knitted using Susan Crawford Vintage Excelana 4 ply, a high-quality fingering weight pure wool that offers warmth and breathability, making it perfect for transitional seasons. The sample showcased here is the third size, which is beautifully modeled by Susan herself, demonstrating how versatile and flattering this jacket can be on different body types.

With a comprehensive pattern available in a wide range of sizes, the Annemor jacket is designed to fit chest measurements from 28 to 66 inches (71 to 167 cm), ensuring that every knitting enthusiast can create this stunning piece. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this unique design is sure to elevate your handmade wardrobe. Discover the joy of knitting and wear your creation with pride!
