Yarn kit for Johanne Loop Sweater by Other Loops in Önling No 16 + silk mohair
Johanne Loop Sweater draws inspiration from the ‘Alstrøje’. A sweater in nuanced knitting designed in the 1960s or 1970s by Åse Lund Jensen, the founder of Isager. The interpretation is based on the original pattern repeat, and the shift in nuances is emphasized as the colours graduate from the top down over the sweater via the pattern repeat that extends to the bottom. Here we knit it in Önling no 16 and Önling no 10. A soft yet structured combination.
The kit contains: Yarn for the selected size and color.
PLEASE NOTE:

Knitting process:
Johanne_loop_sweater is knitted top down. First, the front and back are knitted flat, and then joined in the round to form the body. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the arm hole and the sleeves are knitted in the round. To ensure a good fit, short rows are worked at the top of both the back, shoulders, and sleeves. The body and the lower part of the sleeves are knitted in two-coloured colourwork according to chart.
Please Note:
The price of the yarn kit is calculated based on the amount of yarn included, which is the amount we have used to knit the design according to the above measurements. Should you need more yarn, additional yarn can be purchased at regular prices by placing an order and state lot number in the comment box at checkout. 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.
