Yarn kit for Gerda sweater by Aegyo Knit in Önling No 20 + silk mohair (excl pattern)
"The Gerda sweater is inspired by Åse Lund Jensen's classic pattern, which is characterized by its structure and beautiful cables. The Gerda Sweater reinterprets this classic into a soft and airy contemporary style, with modern top-down and raglan construction while staying true to the original features. The Gerda sweater matches Gerda skirt, both are featured in the Isager Archives collection 2024." - Aegyo Knit
We knit Gerda sweater in 2 strands Önling No 20 and 1 strand silk mohair held together resulting in a compact, fluffy and super warm sweater, with a beautifully defined stitch pattern.
If you love this sweater as much as we do, you can also knit the matching Gerda skirt in Önling No 20 and silk mohair for a complete matching outfit.

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.
