Life is too short for un-epic shit!

This sweater has a nice, roomy fit, giving you a sense of freedom and making you feel ready to Knit Epic Shit.

This sweater combines two previous designs: the Out of Office Sweater and the Epic Bag. I created the sweater for an exhibition by New Order of Fashion during Dutch Design Week 2025: Wool: (Re)Discovered. The exhibition showcased wool as one of the oldest and most versatile materials known to mankind. Yet, in the Netherlands alone, over 1.5 million kilos are discarded annually, often burned or thrown away. While the material was once highly valued, it seems to have lost its worth due to the rise of synthetic alternatives. But at a time when the industry is seeking responsible materials, we cannot afford to let raw materials go to waste. It’s time to show that things can be done differently!

Because I love to relive this experience, I decided to write out the pattern for this Knit Epic Shit Sweater. Did you purchase one of the two patterns that made up this pattern? Contact me, you will get this one for free.
