Yarn kit for Gerda skirt by Aegyo Knit in Önling No 20 + silk mohair (excl pattern)
"The Gerda Skirt is inspired by Åse Lund Jensen's classic pattern, which is characterized by its structure and beautiful cables. The Gerda Skirt reinterprets this classic into a soft and airy contemporary style, with a modern top-down construction while staying true to the original features. The Gerda Skirt matches the Gerda Sweater, both are featured in the Isager Archives collection 2024." - Aegyo Knit
We knit Gerda skirt in 2 strands of Önling No 20 and 1 strand silk mohair, resulting in a cozy, warm and thick yet soft skirt with a beautifully defined stitch pattern.
You can also knit the matching Gerda sweater in Önling No 20 and silk mohair from the same collection designed by Aegyo Knit.

Construction:
The skirt is worked from top to bottom. The back of the skirt is made higher with the German short-row technique. The waistband is folded over to create a double waistband with an opening so the optional elastic band can be added. The skirt has increases along the sides to create the shape. It is recommended to create your own length of the skirt to suit your fashion. The skirt is finished by adding approx. 2cm / 0.79 inches of rib at the bottom.

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.
