Design Notes
Deep Navy, vibrant Red Rose, and crisp Off White create a classic Norwegian color combination that brings the cardigan's intricate patternwork to life. The rich contrast highlights traditional eight-petal rose motifs, softened by rounded lines and decorative elements inspired by Norwegian folk costumes.
Braided side panels add texture and definition to the feminine silhouette, while the colorful patterns give this anniversary design its distinctive personality.
And there's a little piece of history hiding in plain sight. Look closely at the back of the cardigan and you'll discover CXL, the Roman numerals for 140, cleverly incorporated into the knitted design. It's a subtle detail that makes this sweater more than just a pretty pattern.
