Winter Knitting Patterns: Honouring Faroese Heritage
Knitting holds a special place in the heart of Faroese culture, steeped in a rich history that has evolved over centuries. What began as a necessity to create warm, durable clothing for survival in the harsh North Atlantic climate soon grew into a cherished craft - one that embodies creativity, fashion, and community. For Faroese women, knitting has long been a way to pass on traditions, share stories, and even identify their loved ones at sea.
In the past, women would hand-knit sweaters for their husbands, who spent much of their time fishing in the frigid waters surrounding the islands. These sweaters were not only functional but deeply personal. Each woman created unique patterns, allowing her to recognise her husband from afar by the design alone. This tradition of knitting as both art and identity continues to inspire the patterns we celebrate today.
Vón: A Tribute to Tradition
The Vón sweater is a heartfelt nod to this heritage. As the first piece in our Starlet collection, it reimagines designer Guðrun Ludvig’s father’s iconic seaman’s sweater with a refined, feminine touch. Featuring a one-of-a-kind star pattern and hand-knitted from pure, undyed Faroese wool, Vón celebrates both tradition and timeless design. Choose between light-on-dark or dark-on-light tones to suit your winter wardrobe.
