“Blå Blomman”, känd på engelska som ”The Blue Flower”, designades för Bohus Stickning av Kerstin Olsson 1963.
The knitting kit for Blå Blomman was developed in 2006 from original charts and garments held in museum collections, in consultation with Kerstin Olsson. This design is only available as a pullover/cardigan kit.

The pattern colours are hand dyed by Pernille Silfverberg.

The model can be knitted with an elastic neck or a folded neck edge, both of which are described in the instructions. The kit also includes a printed pattern chart with yarn samples for of 6 and 7 pattern yarns, in light blue and turquoise base respectively, for reference.
The garment is worked from the top down in AngoraGarnets angora/merino yarn with a knitting tension of 33 stitches/10 cm. Only knit and purl stitches are used. The cardigan is worked back and forth while the front edge for buttons are worked side by side. for the jumper is worked in the round on circular needles, then worked back and forth on the needles; the sleeves are raglan, the front and back pieces are stockinette stitched and seamed to mimic its original construction. Knitting needles are not included in the knitting kit, but typically 2.0 mm-2.5 mm needles are needed to achieve the correct knitting tension.
Pattern yarns for this design are hand-dyed by Pernille to ensure they reproduce the original design.
