Design Notes:
Crisp Navy and Off White showcase an updated version of the legendary Cortina pattern, giving this lightweight sweater a strong connection to classic Norwegian knitwear.
The quarter zip brings a relaxed, sporty edge to the heritage design. Wear it zipped high on chilly mountain mornings, open at the collar for après-ski, or layered over a shirt for an easy Scandinavian take on business casual.
History:
The Dalestølen pattern traces its roots to Dale of Norway’s Cortina sweater, created for the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
Cortina was Dale’s first official Olympic ski sweater and became one of Norway’s most recognizable knitwear designs. Dalestølen carries that history forward in a lighter merino quarter zip designed and knitted in Norway.
