History of occurrence
The history of deer sweaters began with the crafts of distant northern countries. Knitting was an integral part of the masters of Scandinavia and went into mass circulation at the end of the XIX century. A characteristic feature of their work was the ornament, the method of knitting and the material.
Craftswomen used pure sheep wool, so for a long time sweaters were in black and white.
Initially, they performed the role of winter clothing, not related to the festive atmosphere. Such sweaters received world fame only in the XX century thanks to the cinema. People from all over the world wanted to imitate their favorite characters and started to do this with clothes. Fame was added to them by the increased popularity of winter sports.
At the beginning of the XXI century, deer reached the global fashion industry, taking pride of place not only on knitwear, 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 a place in the hearts of people of any gender and age.
Models
The most popular model is a classic woolen sweater. Straight, with a large ligature and a high collar, fitting a neck. To the waist or hips, especially in warmer winter versions. Lighter ones resemble knitted sweaters and pullovers, but they look harmonious with ornaments.
Since sweaters with a pattern have become an integral part of the collections of famous fashion houses, styles have undergone changes. A lot of variety has become in the degree of tightness, so that you can easily find and resembling thin turtlenecks, and not tight volumetric.
Differences were outlined in length: both sweaters resembling dresses and short ones, hardly reaching the navel, are equally successful.Originality is also achieved by asymmetry in the model, for example, by making a bottom cut, and by the appearance of the collar, and even by the length of the sleeve. Additional details are important, such as hoods, pockets, fur inserts or decorative buttons.
A modern deer sweater does not have to be old-fashioned and suitable only for sports. Due to the variety in styles, it is suitable for everyday life, evening walks and even business meetings.
Material
The warmest ones will, of course, be sweaters made of camel, alpaca or sheep’s wool. Often found in cashmere, angora and mohair. Sometimes silk is added to the coat, which gives it a special shine effect. Often, sweaters are 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 in a product for winter it should be more than additives.
For knitting, cotton thread is also used, 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.
Color
Traditional models 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 imply not only an innovative interpretation of patterns, but also the use of original color solutions. Products can be both multicolor and plain. Green, yellow, lavender, pink, and mustard colors began to be widely used.
The most popular were and remain combinations of red, blue and white, since it is it that is most associated with holidays and winter.
However, speaking about the diversity of the color palette of deer sweaters, 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, a certain similarity can be seen in the craftsmanship of the Scandinavian countries. For example, each of them was widely used geometric ornament, elements of folklore, flora and fauna. If initially things were black and white, as they were knitted from unpainted sheep’s wool, then over time other colors also spread.
When it comes to the Scandinavian pattern on knitwear, we primarily mean the most common of them, Norwegian (or, as it is also called, Finnish). On sweaters, you can often see geometric patterns and figures, pigtails, snowflakes, images of cones, mistletoe, clover and, of course, deer.
Norwegian ornament allows for non-convex weaving. Patterns are changed in rows on one part of the product or on the entire surface. New interpretations of designers often carry the characteristic features of classic Norwegian patterns, but you can find models with only animal figures, without other patterns, or deer that somehow interact with each other .
Christmas and New YearNo less popular are the images of deer, which have nothing to do with the brevity of the Scandinavian patterns. These are real crochet patterns. Realistic silhouettes with branching horns, cartoon characters, cute graphic faces.
A special place among them is occupied by holiday models. They are always bright and colorful, with one look reminiscent 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, a red fleecy nose makes a Rudolph reindeer.
How to choose?
When choosing a sweater with a Norwegian pattern, you first need to understand in advance what time of year it will be worn. Woolen and warmed for winter, half-woolen and cotton - demi-season.The style also matters, since elongated models to the hips will let in less cold, especially if you have a short jacket.
In models where not just a deer image is used, but an ornament with geometric lines, it is necessary to remember the influence of the stripes on the figure.
Horizontal stripes visually enlarge the figure, especially the part where the ornament is located. This focus can be used to visually enlarge the chest or hips.
If there is a goal - to hide the flaws, then on the problematic area the product color should be neutral (monophonic or with a pattern repeating over the entire surface) or the lines should go vertically. Do not forget about the features of your appearance in order to choose the most suitable color.
When buying, you should take into account the image that you want to create with a deer sweater. If it’s sports and walking, the classic model is suitable.
