The house on Christianshavn is a Danish TV series from the seventies, in which pet-dealer Clausen was wearing his iconic Icelandic sweater episode after episode.
Mrs. Clausen is a feminine and more modern interpretation of this sweater. The design has been changed to a raglan model with a deep neckline, loose fit and wide sleeves - but the pattern-chart itself is the same.

About the design…
Mrs. Clausen is worked seamlessly from the top down. First back and forth to create a higher back neck and then the raglan yoke is worked top down to sleeve separation. Then the body is worked in rounds down to the hem. Sleeves are worked top down. No finishing required.
