The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower which have the appearance of originating from the constellation Perseus. The meteors appear to twinkle delicately in the night sky of the Perseids Sweater, designed by Lotta H Löthgren, who was inspired by her recent study of the meteor shower. The Perseids Sweater plays on traditional Nordic designs for stranded colour-work yoke to create a classic sweater pattern. This is a beautiful project for the ambitious beginner who would like to try a colour-work garment.
