A boy’s life
A Boy’s life is a sweater inspired by traditional Norwegian patterns. There are children, men and women, people dancing, kissing, quarreling, holding hands... a slice of real life.
It is worked from the bottom up and is almost seamless. Worked with a yarn combination which yields a robust, still soft fabric, it is well suited for active children’s play, and the masculine design will look good on any boy.
