Sago-stick

Abstract

Sago-Stick is a collection of patterns for hand knitted children’s sweaters and pocket toys. Every sweater pattern is connected to a pattern for a knitted pocket toy and a children’s storybook. The product is presented as a knit-kit, along with yarn. Three kits were made. This product is for people who love knitting. These knit-kits require different levels of skill. To knit a sweater, you should have some experience. But for the pocket toys it is ok to be a beginner. These garments are a counter-weight to fast fashion trends. They will take time to make. Knitting takes time, one stitch at a time, repeatedly. But this is also the reason they become attached to us like old friends. They are valuable and appreciated. And they are made to last over generations of children. These sweaters tell a saga even before they have been made. Along with the storybook they are stories to be worn
