Kedjan, known in English as "The Chain", was designed for Bohus Stickning by Anna-Lisa Mannheimer Lunn in the 1940s.
The knitting kit for Kedjan was developed in 2021 from original charts and garments held in museum collections. The design is only available as knitting kit for a pullover /cardigan and a round yoke.
The garment is knitted on light beige base no. 28 in an angora yarn spun from 50% hand-cut angora wool from our own angora rabbits and 50% New Zealand merino wool. The yarn has not been dyed, but comes from our natural brown, wild brown and especially yellow angora rabbit wool. The pattern yarns are hand-dyed by Pernille Silfverberg to match the original yarns. The yarn is spun in Denmark at Henrichsens Uldspinderi.
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, and instructions to knit a recreation Design of the original Bohus Stickning pattern in sizes from 92 cm for 117 cm. The model can be worked 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 and 8 pattern yarns to use as 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. 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 this design are hand-dyed by Pernille to ensure they reproduce the 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.
