OTHER LOOPS and MOOMINS

Flower Loop is a soft raglan sweater inspired by the idea of Moominmamma, Moomintroll’s loving mother, gathering wildflowers in the Moominvalley. Maja Kløvdal envisioned how, petal by petal, blossoms fall across the fabric like little stories. Their light and red tones are drawn from Moominmamma’s iconic apron, a symbol of care and love. The sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. The yoke is knitted in stockinette stitch before stranded colourwork is added with raglan increases. The body and sleeves are finished in dot stitch with a wide colour­work border, floats on the right side and a rolled edge.
