Knitting kit for Dahlia Slipover vest by Katrine Hannibal in No 20 + Silk mohair
I have long wanted a slipover vest with a tight fit and narrow shoulders. A vest that can fit over a dress shirt or a t-shirt - or over a dress. I love the simple and beautiful 'Dahlia pattern' - so it was obvious that the vest should be part of our popular Dahlia series.
We work the Dahlia vest in our lovely Shetland wool; Önling No 20 by Hanne Falkenberg and our silk mohair Önling No 10. When the two yarns are worked together on needle no. 5, you get the most delicious knitwear, which is both wonderfully warm and feminine - and with a rustic twist from the Shetland wool.
Both yarns are available in so many beautiful colours, giving you a vast range of interesting color combinations.
The knitting kit contains: Shetland wool and silk mohair yarn for the elected size as well as 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.

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.
