Crevetten Vit, known as "Crevetten White" in English, was designed for Bohus Stickning by Annika Malmström-Bladini in 1956. American singer and actress Eartha Kitt was photographed in the Crevetten design (Crevetten Rosa) during her visit to Stockholm in the 1960s.
The knitting kit for Crevetten Vit was developed in 2020 from original charts and garments held in museum collections . The design is available as knitting kit for pullover or cardigan with a round yoke, hat and tam.
The garment is knitted on natural white base (no 100) in angora/merino yarn spun from 50% hand-clipped angora wool from our own angora rabbits and 50% New Zealand merino wool. The white angora wool in the yarn comes from our naturally white angora rabbits and is not bleached. The pattern yarns are hand-dyed by Pernille Silfverberg to match the original yarns. The yarn is spun in Denmark at Henrichsens uldspinderi.
Each knitting kit contains pattern instructions to create an authentic reproduction of the original Bohus Stickning design in developed models. The kit also includes a printed pattern chart with yarn samples for of the 7 yarns included in the kit for reference.
The design itself is worked in our angora/merino yarn with a knitting tension of 34 stitches per 10 cm. The pattern is worked with up to for 3 pattern yarns per row. Knitting needles are not included in the kit, but typically 2.0-2.5 mm needles are needed to achieve the correct gauge.
The garment is knitted from the top down in AngoraGarnets angora/merino yarn. The 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. The kit includes instructions for knitting an authentic reproduction of the original Bohus Knitting design in sizes from 92 cm for 117 cm.
Both the pullover and cardigan are worked from the top down. The cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch back and forth while the front edge for the buttons is worked evenly. The jumper is worked in the round on circular needles down for the sleeves, which like the cardigan are worked in raglan. Then the front and back pieces of the garment are worked in stockinette stitch back and forth and seamed to mimic its original construction. The knitting instructions include the choice of knitting either an elastic neck (single or double fold) or a folded neck edge, as original garments are knitted in both ways.
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.
