Knitting kit for Sharpei sweater by Créadia Studio in Önling No 12 + silk mohair
Sharpei Sweater is a soft and expressive, slightly 'cropped' sweater, made up of horizontally knitted pleats.
The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. First, the body is knitted in the round on circular needles until you reach the desired length, and then divided into front and back pieces. These are worked separately, back and forth on the needle at the same time as the neckline is shaped. The shoulders are sewn together.
The sleeves are knitted with increases to create a balloon effect and are finally sewn on to the body.
The kit contains: Yarn for the selected size and a digital pattern
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.

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.
