Needles and notions:
Recommended circular needles size 6 mm / US 10, lengths 40 and 80 cm / 16 and 32 inches, and size 7 mm / US 10.75, lengths 40 and 80 cm / 16 and 32 inches.
9 stitch markers to mark raglan increases and sleeve decreases.
Gauge:
16 sts and 26 rows/rounds of stockinette stitch on needle size 7 mm / US 10.75 = 10x10 cm / 4x4 inches.
Procedure:
The sweater is worked top down. This method makes it possible for you to try on the sweater as you go and adjust it to a perfect fit. Short rows are worked at the 4 raglan seams to ensure a better fit, and the rest of the sweater is worked in stockinette in the round with increases worked at the 4 raglan seams. The yoke is then divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately.
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.
