Knitting pattern for Ballerina by Hanne Falkenberg

Ballerina is one of Hanne Falkenbergs absolute bestsellers - and we can really see why! It is an absolute classic with the beautiful colored panels and a very elegant fit. The cardigan is without buttons, and it has a ’swinger-shape’.

Ballerina is worked back and forth from front piece to front piece. The shape is made by short rows which makes the construction fun to knit.

You can work Ballerina in either Önling No 20 or Önling No 2. You can purchase the yarn kit for Ballerina in both types of yarn here.

The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page. You will also receive an e-mail with a link to your pattern, and the pattern will be available here at the site via your personal account - so remember to create an account :-) Read more about digital knitting patterns here.
