Luxe | Chic Vintage Nordic Knit Sweater

All the pattern sits at the shoulders, and none of it anywhere near your middle.

The Luxe is a traditional Nordic knit: the colourwork is worked into a circular yoke across the shoulders and upper chest in cream, soft blue and olive, and the body below it is left completely plain. That is the oldest trick in Nordic knitting — the eye goes to the pattern, which means it goes up towards your face and stays there. The colourwork is knitted in stitch by stitch, each colour a separate strand carried through the knitting, so it cannot crack along the folds or fade unevenly the way a printed pattern does. The body is knitted in a marled grey — two shades twisted together rather than one flat colour — which keeps the surface even and forgiving from any angle. It pulls on over the head, with a plain round crew neck cut wide enough to take a shirt collar underneath, deep ribbed cuffs and a deep ribbed hem, each finished with a narrow band of the yoke pattern repeated.

Why you'll love the Luxe

• ✔ The pattern is on the yoke only — across the shoulders, never across the bust or the middle
• ✔ Knitted in, not printed on — real colourwork that cannot crack or fade off the surface
• ✔ A marled grey body — two shades twisted together, so it never shows every crease and pull
• ✔ One sweater, two ways — the round neck takes a shirt collar underneath, so it works on a Tuesday and at Sunday lunch
• ✔ Ribbing that holds — deep cuffs and hem that stay where you put them instead of stretching out in a season
• ✔ Eight sizes, graded properly — S through 5XL, with the yoke scaled so the pattern stays in proportion at every size
