"HOT" FALL FASHION TREND- NORDIC SWEATERS/CARDIGANS

This hot fall fashion trend for both men and women has a very interesting history. Originally, Nordic sweaters only came in black or white which were the natural colors of sheep’s wool. Soon some Nordic people began combining the black and white, and started making v-shaped patterns called ‘lice’. This v-shape stitch helped make their Nordic sweaters warmer. Eventually,  knitters began experimenting with patterns, but only on the very top of the sweater because Nordic people tucked their Nordic sweaters far down into baggy pants. Apart from the usual round neck pullover type, Nordic sweaters also come in cardigan style, buttoned, zipped, mock necked, collared, or hooded.
