Size 8 Norwegian Pullover Sweater - Hand Knitted Sage Green & Ivory Daisy Motif 1960s Folk Style Medium Jumper - Made in Norway - Bust 39

Classic Scandinavian pullover from Norway, made by hand in the mid 1960s. This heavy wool folk sweater has a Fair Isle pattern with borders at the wrists & hem. It's meant to be worn a bit oversized through the shoulders and chest, tapered to the hip. Beautiful, beautiful quality. We're unsure whether this was a men's or ladies' item originally, though it's easily unisex today.
