Yarn kit for Tinka Christmas sweater - a classic or crazy Christmas sweater, knitted in soft and sustainable yarn Önling No 2 merino wool.
For some of us, Christmas is the best time of the year! You have a good time with friends and family, you decorate your home, eat christmas cookies and candies...
... And you get to wear your CHRISTMAS SWEATERS!
This is why we at Önling have designed a Christmas sweater, knitted in our soft and delicate yarn Önling No 2, which is wonderful to knit and to wear. Önling No 2 is made of 100 % merino wool, and sustainably produced according to organic standards.
The idea is to design a sweater so pretty that you would love to wear it, and yet with the option to create your own crazy christmas sweater.
One of our main challenges has been, that we did not have a beautiful christmas red yarn - but now we do! We now have a beautiful red and a beautiful green, perfect for creating beautiful and crazy christmas sweaters. But as you can see, the sweater is also beautiful and classic in e.g. grey and white.
We look forward to seeing your christmas sweaters on Instagram under #önlingjulesweater (Danish # so you get to see all the Danish versions as well).
Merry Christmas :-)

Directions:
The sweater is worked in the round, from the top down. Cast on stitches using a temporary crocheted cast-on, so the size of the neckline can be adjusted subsequently. Short rows are worked across the shoulder and neck at the beginning to give a higher neckline. The yoke is worked with increases. Hereafter the work is divided, and both sleeves and body are worked 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 kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.
- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.
- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.
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.
