Winter officially started the 21st, and here in Boston, we’re experiencing a cold snap — there’s nothing like single digit temps to make me want to don a wintry-looking sweater. But where to begin, so many choices! How about with Arne & Carlos?

Arne Nerjodet and Carlos Zachrison have been running Arne & Carlos since 2002 and draw upon their Norwegian and Swedish upbringings and the landscapes to design their perfectly patterned knits. Cognizant of the tradition of Scandinavian knitwear, they’re careful to preserve traditional knitting techniques (half of their knitwear is entirely handmade while the other half is a combination of machine- and handmade) and influences while keeping their designs modern and inventive.The end result? A gorgeous go-to sweater that you can wear for years on end.
