Knitting kit for Exit sweater in Önling No 20
In 2020, Hanne Falkenberg retired and sold her company, Hanne Falkenberg Design, to Önling. As part of this transition, her adult children entrusted us with a very special sweater—the last one Hanne had knitted herself. The sweater came without notes, as Hanne never got the chance to write down the pattern, but it was her wish for it to be called Exit Sweater, marking her exit from the knitting world.
Exit Sweater will be the absolute final new release from the iconic designer Hanne Falkenberg. Based on her original sweater, Katrine Hannibal and the Önling team interpreted and created a new version with an updated fit. After careful design and testing, Exit Sweater now stands as a beautiful tribute to Hanne Falkenberg’s long and remarkable career as a knitting designer.
The sweater features a classic, square pattern on the front and back, combined with elegant edge details on the sleeves and neckline. It can be knitted in Önling No 20 – Hanne Falkenberg’s classic Shetland wool – or Önling No 2, a soft and luxurious merino wool.
Here we knit Exit sweater in Önling No 20, our 100% shetland wool, originally from Falkenberg Design. Resulting in a rustic sweater, with a clearly defined stitch pattern by the texture of the yarn.
The knitting kit contains: Yarn for the selected size and a 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 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.
