DESIGN: BJÖRG PJETURSDÓTTIR

COLOURING BOOK
Included in this pattern is a colouring book for the design BP 04 RENDUR dress. Children can visualise their wishes for the look of their BP 04 dress. The colouring book allows the knitters, the creator’s creativity to be free and play with colours, surfaces, stripes.

METHOD
The dress is worked top-down in the round. The yoke is worked on the wrong side. Increases are made evenly across the yoke and become a pattern. Stitches are cast off for the armhole and underarm stitches are cast on again in the following round. A loose cast on is necessary in order to avoid the neckline being too tight.

I have admired Björg Pjetursdóttir’s project RENDUR for a long time. She designed a series of patterns with the purpose to make use of leftover yarns.

I became captivated by these handmade, colourful garments, and in 2016 the dream of presenting Björgs patterns in einrúm yarn came true for me. We began working on the project of implementing and adjusting the patterns to the einrúm yarn and giving a hint on how one might use leftover yarn. The patterns allow the creator’s creativity to be free and play with colours, surfaces, stripes.
