Design Notes
Crisp Off White, cool Steel, and soft Light Charcoal create a refined palette with a distinctly Scandinavian feel. The subtle interplay of light and dark tones gives Hannah's vintage-inspired knitwork a fresh, contemporary look.
Traditional Norwegian-made pewter buttons provide an elegant finishing touch, bringing a little old-world character to its relaxed, modern silhouette.
History
Hannah's story began when a Dutch customer visited the Dale factory wearing an original Dale of Norway cardigan from 1978. The vintage sweater caught the attention of a Dale employee, who admired it so much that he wanted to buy it back, inspiring the revival of the design.
The updated cardigan was named Hannah after the customer's granddaughter and the employee's daughter, who share the same name. It's a charming example of how a treasured piece of Norwegian knitwear can inspire a new generation.
