History of
The history of sweaters with deer began with folk crafts of distant northern countries. Knitting was an integral part of the masters of Scandinavia and entered into mass circulation at the end of the XIX century. A characteristic feature of their work was the ornament, knitting method and material.
Craftswomen used clean sheep wool, so for a long time sweaters were in black and white.
Initially, they performed the role of winter clothing, not having to do with the festive atmosphere. Such sweaters received world fame only in the 20th century thanks to the cinema. People from all over the world wanted to imitate their favorite characters and started to do it with clothes. Fame them added and the increased popularity of winter sports.
At the beginning of the XXI century, deer reached the global fashion industry, taking an honorable place not only on knitted products, but even accessories. These sweaters have a long history and, although the pattern is simple, it is pleasing to the eye and diverse. Therefore, he rightfully took his place in the hearts of people of any gender and age.
Models
The most popular model is a classic wool sweater. Straight, with a large tie and a high collar, fitting the neck. Length up to the waist or hips, especially in warmer winter options. Lighter ones resemble knitted sweaters and pullovers, but they also look harmonious with ornaments.
Since sweaters with a pattern have become an integral part of the collections of eminent fashion houses, the styles have undergone a change. A lot of variety has become in the degree of fitting, so you can easily find and resembling thin turtlenecks, and not tight volumetric.
Differences were outlined in length: the same success enjoyed both sweaters, resembling dresses, and short, hardly reaching the navel. Originality is achieved and asymmetry in the model, for example, making a cut of the bottom, and the type of collar, and even the sleeve length. Important details, such as hoods, pockets, fur inserts or decorative buttons.
A modern deer sweater doesn’t have to be old-fashioned and suitable only for sports. Due to the diversity in styles it is suitable for everyday life, evening walks and even business meetings.
Material
The warmest will be, of course, sweaters made from camel, alpaca or sheep wool. Often found from cashmere, angora and mohair. Sometimes silk is added to wool, which is why a special gloss effect is acquired. Sweaters are often knitted from wool with the addition of acrylic or viscose.
The main thing to remember is that the greater the percentage of wool, the warmer the sweater, so the product for winter should have more of it than additives.
Cotton thread is also used for knitting, often with the addition of viscose, polyester or acrylic. Such models are well suited for autumn or spring, they are thinner and give less heat than wool, but they are cheaper.
Colour
Traditional patterns with a Scandinavian pattern are distinguished by the use of two or three classic contrasting colors and their shades: black, blue, gray, red, brown.
More modern models involve not only an innovative interpretation of patterns, but also the use of original colors. Products can be both multi-color and monochromatic. Green, yellow, lavender, pink, mustard colors began to be widely used.
The most popular were and remain the combination of red, blue and white, since it is it that is most associated with holidays in winter.
However, speaking of the diversity of the color palette of sweaters with deer, it is worth noting that Here it is important not only their number and shades themselves, but also the pattern of the picture.
Scandinavian.Despite the cultural, social, economic and natural differences, in the handicraft business of the Scandinavian countries one can see a certain similarity. For example, each of them widely used geometric patterns, elements of folklore, flora and fauna. If initially things were black and white, since they were knitted from unpainted sheep wool, then over time other colors became common.
When it comes to the Scandinavian pattern on knitted products, first of all we mean the most common of them, the Norwegian (or, as it is also called, Finnish). On sweaters, you can often see geometric patterns and shapes, pigtails, snowflakes, images of cones, mistletoe, clover and, of course, deer.
Norwegian ornament allows for non-convex weaving. The change of drawings takes place in rows on one section of the product or over the entire surface. New interpretations of designers often have the characteristic features of classical Norwegian patterns, but you can find models with animal figures alone, without other patterns, or deer, which somehow interact with each other .
Christmas and New YearNo less popular are the images of deer, which have nothing to do with the laconic Scandinavian patterns. These are the most real knitted patterns. Realistic silhouettes with branchy horns, cartoon characters, cute graphic attractive faces.
A special place among them is occupied by holiday models. They are always bright and colorful, with one kind remind of the upcoming Christmas. In the drawings of Christmas products, in addition to deer, there are snowflakes and snowmen, garlands, Christmas trees. Often a sweater is decorated with voluminous elements, for example, the red deer Rudolph is made with a red fleecy nose.
