Sagopalmen, known as "The Sago Palm" in English was designed for Bohus Stickning by Kerstin Olsson in 1964.
The knitting kit for Sagopalmen was developed in 2005 from original charts and garments held in museum collections, in consultation with Kerstin Olsson. The design is available as knitting kit for pullover /cardigan with a round yoke and as a hat.
The garment is knitted on light 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 pullover/cardigan 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 card with yarn samples for and 10 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 only two pattern yarns at a time with a knitting tension of 33 stitches/10cm. 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.
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.
The hat kit contains yarn and instructions to knit a recreation Design of the original Bohus Stickning pattern as hat. The knitting kit also includes a printed pattern chart card with yarn samples for of the 10 pattern yarns for reference.
