History of origin
The history of deer sweaters began with the folk crafts of the far northern countries. Knitting was an integral part of Scandinavian craftsmen and entered mass circulation at the end of the 19th century. A characteristic feature of their work was the ornament, the way of knitting and the material.

Craftswomen used pure sheep wool, so for a long time sweaters were in black and white colors.
Initially, they served as winter clothing, having nothing to do with the festive atmosphere. Such sweaters gained worldwide fame only in the 20th century thanks to cinema. People from all over the world wanted to imitate their favorite characters and started doing this with clothes. The increased popularity of winter sports also added to their fame.

Since patterned sweaters have become an integral part of the collections of famous fashion houses, styles have undergone changes. There is a lot of variety in the degree of close-fitting, so you can easily find both those that resemble thin turtlenecks and not tight-fitting voluminous ones.

Differences have been outlined in the length: sweaters that resemble dresses and short ones that barely reach the navel are equally successful.Originality is achieved by asymmetry in the model, for example, by making a cut of the bottom, and by the type of collar, and even by the length of the sleeve. Additional details are important, such as hoods, pockets, fur inserts or decorative buttons.

Material
The warmest will, of course, be sweaters made of camel, alpaca or sheep wool. Often found from cashmere, angora and mohair. Sometimes silk is added to the wool, which gives it a special shine effect. Often, sweaters are knitted from semi-wool with the addition of acrylic or viscose.
The main thing to remember is that the higher the percentage of wool, the warmer the sweater, so there should be more of it in a product for winter 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 warmth than woolen ones, but they are cheaper.

Colour
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 involve not only an innovative interpretation of patterns, but also the use of original color solutions. Products can be both multicolored and monochromatic. Green, yellow, lavender, pink, mustard colors began to be widely used.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2016/09/sviter-s-olenyami-69.jpg)
The most popular were and remain the combinations of red, blue and white, since it is it that is most associated with the holidays and winter.
However, speaking about the variety of color palette of deer sweaters, it is worth noting that here it is important not only their number and the shades themselves, but also the pattern of the picture.

Scandinavian.Despite cultural, social, economic and natural differences, a certain similarity can be seen in the craftsmanship of the Scandinavian countries. 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's wool, then over time, other colors also spread.
When it comes to the Scandinavian pattern on knitted products, first of all we mean the most common of them, Norwegian (or, as it is also called, Finnish). On sweaters, you can often see geometric patterns and shapes, braids, snowflakes, images of cones, mistletoe, clover and, of course, deer.

Norwegian ornament allows for non-convex weaving. The change of patterns occurs in rows in one area of the product or over the entire surface. New interpretations of designers often bear 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 laconicism of Scandinavian patterns. These are real knitted patterns. Realistic silhouettes with branchy horns, cartoon characters, cute graphic faces.

Festive models occupy a special place among them. They are always bright and colorful, with one look they remind of the coming Christmas. In addition to deer, the drawings of New Year's products contain snowflakes and snowmen, garlands, and Christmas trees. Often, a sweater is decorated with voluminous elements, for example, a red fleecy nose is made for a fawn Rudolph.

How to choose?
When choosing a sweater with a Norwegian pattern, first of all, you need to understand in advance what time of year it will be worn. Woolen and warmed for winter, semi-woolen and cotton - demi-season.The style also matters, as the elongated models to the hips will let in less cold, especially if you have a short jacket.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2016/09/sviter-s-olenyami-39.jpg)
In models where not just the image of a deer is used, but an ornament with geometric lines, it is necessary to remember about the effect of stripes on the figure.
Horizontal stripes visually enlarge the figure, especially the part where the ornament is located. This trick can be used to visually enlarge the chest or hips.

If there is a goal - to hide flaws, then on the problem area the color of the product should be neutral (one-color 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.
