Cultural Note
The Setesdal pattern is one of Norway’s most iconic textile designs, originating from the Setesdal valley in southern Norway. Traditionally used in hand-knitted sweaters and bunads, it features geometric motifs and symbolic elements that reflect Norwegian identity and craftsmanship. This cardigan honors that legacy while offering a modern, wearable version—perfect for those who appreciate Scandinavian design and the cozy lifestyle of Minnesota’s Nordic-rooted communities.
