"Blått Ljus", known in English as "The Blue Light", was originally designed for Bohus Stickning by Kerstin Olsson in 1959. Blått Ljus was the first of the series to be designed, later Rött Ljus and Turkos Ljus were added by replacing two of the pattern yarns, no. 55 in clear blue and no. 61, a darker sea green shade, with other shades.
Knitting kit for Blått Ljus was developed in 2008, then revised in 2016 from original charts and garments held in museum collections, in consultation with Kerstin Olsson. This design is available as a kit for a pullover/cardigan with a round yoke, as a hat, as a patterned scarf and wristlets.
The garment is knitted on olive green base in an angora yarn spun from 50% hand-cut angora wool from our own angora rabbits and 50% New Zealand merino wool. The pattern yarns are hand-dyed by Pernille Silfverberg to mimic the original yarns for Blått Ljus . The yarns are spun in Denmark at Henrichsens Uldspinderi.
The knitting kit contains enough yarn to knit a pullover or cardigan in the largest size XL, which corresponds to the garment's measurement of 117 cm around the chest, and knitting instructions to knit a recreated rendition of the original Bohus Stickning design in sizes from 92 cm for 117 cm. The kit also includes a printed pattern chart with yarn samples for and 6 pattern yarns for reference.
The garment is worked from the top down in AngoraGarnets angora/merino yarn. The patterned yoke for design is worked with up to for three pattern yarns in one round with a knitting tension of 33 stitches/10 cm. The yoke is mainly worked with only two pattern yarns in one row. 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. The jumper is worked in the round on circular needles, then the front and back pieces are worked in stockinette stitch back and forth 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 Blått Ljus ' designs are hand-dyed by Pernille to ensure that they fully replicate its original design.
The buttons on the original garment were mother-of-pearl buttons 12 mm in diameter with two holes and a small notch between them. Buttons are not included in the knitting kit.
