Mandelträdet, known as "The Almond Tree" in English, was designed for Bohus Stickning by Annika Malmström-Bladini in 1953.
The knitting kit for Mandelträdet was developed in 2019 from original charts and garments held in museum collections. The design is only available as knitting kit for pullover with a round yoke.
The garment is knitted on salmon pink 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 match the original yarns. The yarn is spun in Denmark at Henrichsens Uldspinderi.
The kit contains enough yarn to knit a pullover 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 design in sizes from 92 cm for 117 cm. 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 and 6 pattern yarns to use as reference.
The garment is worked from the bottom up with a slightly shorter yoke according to "New circular knitting" in Bohus Angora Merino yarn. The patterned yoke for the design is worked with up to three pattern yarns in one round at a gauge of 33 stitches/10cm. Only knit and purl stitches are used and the majority of the design is worked with only 1 or two colours in each row. The pullover is knit in pieces from the bottom up with raglan decreases from the armhole. The raglan seams are sewn and the pieces are joined to complete the yoke pattern in the round. This seamed construction matches the original constructions for the design. Knitting needles are not included in the kit, however typically a needle size of 2mm-2.5mm will be required to achieve the correct gauge. Please note this design is only available as a pullover. Instructions for a cardigan are not provided.
Pattern yarns for this design are hand-dyed by Pernille to ensure they reproduce the original design.
