Icewear cut their teeth on traditional Scandinavian knitwear, so it is no surprise that they still design and create Norwegian and other Scandanavian designs to compliment other styles. These practical, comfortable and eye-catching sweaters are their bread and butter.
Original Norwegian handknit sweaters are called the lusekofte, which translates as the “lice jacket” and is named after the appearance of the often-repeated stitch within the pattern. Or you could choose the Setesdalsgenser “Setesdal sweater” design named after the Norwegian valley where it is believed to have originated.
