This vintage 1980’s L.L. Bean sweater was made in Norway and features the brand’s signature bird’s-eye knit pattern, a traditional Norwegian design also known as the Setesdal “lusekofte” motif. Crafted from an 80% wool / 20% rayon blend, this heavyweight crewneck offers incredible warmth and timeless Scandinavian style.
The sweater features a cream and black bird’s-eye pattern throughout, complemented by striped rib-knit trim at the collar, cuffs, and hem. A hallmark of quality from L.L. Bean’s golden era of imported knits, this piece embodies durable craftsmanship and classic design.
