Tonje Hodne designed the Wildberry Sweater for Fremstrikk, inspired by memories from her childhood. Tonje grew up having a boat, and her family often went on boat trips during the summer. “I imagine that we arrive at an islet with a forest plentiful of blueberries. The sun is high in the sky, it smells like sunscreen and the sea. There’s a childlike joy and excitement in the air, and plenty of small, round, blueberries.” She wanted the design to have a simple form, inspired by traditional knitting but with a desire for renewal. She decided on colorwork. An unexpected choice for someone who had never designed colorwork patterns before. But it turned out to be a fun challenge. She started with dots. Dots and circles fit into the vision of a simple form. She made swatches with different colors and in the end she settled on two shades of blue against a gray background.
ABOUT
