Knitting kit for Easy Peasy Carol Sweater in Önling No 3 + silk mohair
Meet Carol - a lovely basic sweater with a great fit. Carol has a pretty double-folded neck rib, wide long sleeves and wide rib edges. It is knitted in Önling No 3, which is made of 100% organic and scratch-free merino wool, and Önling No 10, our exquisite silk mohair, and designed to be a bit oversize with 5-10 cm / 2-4 inches in positive ease. The raglan sweater is waist lenght with wide, long sleeves. It is knitted top-down and it is easy try on, as you knit, so you can make changes to the lenght of body and sleeves to match your preferences. Have a nice time with knitting your Carol Sweater!

Gauge 16 sts and 26 rows/rounds of stockinette stitch on needle size 7 mm / US 10.75 = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches.
Procedure
The sweater is worked top down. This method makes it possible for you to try on the sweater as you go and adjust it to a perfect fit. Short rows are worked at the 4 raglan seams to ensure a better fit, and the rest of the sweater is worked in stockinette in the round with increases worked at the 4 raglan seams. The yoke is then divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately.
Please Note:
The price of the yarn kit is calculated based on the amount of yarn included, which is the amount we have used to knit the design according to the above measurements. Should you need more yarn, additional yarn can be purchased at regular prices by placing an order and state lot number in the comment box at checkout. All designs have been thoroughly calculated and tested.
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.
