Design Notes
Off White and soft Blue Shadow give the historic Cortina pattern a refresh. Vagsoy gives the visual effect of a traditional yoke knit sweater with the sweeping pattern that appears to drape the shoulders. It's a distinctive balance of classic Nordic design and modern styling, equally at home on a snowy mountain getaway or a casual winter afternoon.
History
The Vagsoy Women's Sweater takes its name from Vågsøy, an island along Norway's western coast at the entrance to Nordfjorden. The island is home to Måløy, an important Norwegian fishing port surrounded by dramatic coastal scenery.
The sweater's pattern comes from Dale of Norway's original Cortina design, created for the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. As Dale of Norway's first Olympic sweater, Cortina established a lasting design tradition that continues to inspire contemporary Norwegian knitwear.
