Yarn kit for Gerda sweater by Aegyo Knit in Önling No 20 + silk mohair (excl pattern)
"The Gerda sweater is inspired by Åse Lund Jensen's classic pattern, which is characterized by its structure and beautiful cables. The Gerda Sweater reinterprets this classic into a soft and airy contemporary style, with modern top-down and raglan construction while staying true to the original features. The Gerda sweater matches Gerda skirt, both are featured in the Isager Archives collection 2024." - Aegyo Knit
We knit Gerda sweater in 2 strands Önling No 20 and 1 strand silk mohair held together resulting in a compact, fluffy and super warm sweater, with a beautifully defined stitch pattern.
If you love this sweater as much as we do, you can also knit the matching Gerda skirt in Önling No 20 and silk mohair for a complete matching outfit.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a knitting kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In some cases, however, you will not receive a pattern as part of your order:
If you buy a Yarn kit, you will only receive yarn for the design in question. Yarn kits are only sold for selected designs from external designers, where we do not have the right to sell the pattern. When a kit is sold without pattern, you can always see it in the header, which will say (excl pattern) in the header.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- For a select, few designs from PetiteKnit, we will add a printed pattern to the parcel - but for most PetiteKnit designs, you will not receive a pattern, as they are mainly sold as yarn kits (excl pattern). In these cases you will always be able to see it in the header, where it says (excl pattern).
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
