- Work with 1 strand of Önling No. 20 and two strands of silk mohair held together throughout
Recommended needles:
Circular needles: 4mm (US 6) and 4,5 mm (US 7) in 40, 60 og 80 cm
Double-pointed needles: 4 mm (US 6)
Optional: A 4 mm straight needle for the Italian cast-on
Gauge:
20 sts x 28 rows in stockinette stitch on a 4 mm needle = 10 x 10 cm
20 sts x 23 rows in pattern on a 4.5 mm needle = 10 x 10 cm
Procedure:
First, stitches are cast on for the neck edge using the Italian cast on technique, and the neck edge is worked in a twisted rib. Then, the yoke is worked in the stranded pattern from the right side. Before the work is divided into sleeves and body, short rows are worked across the back of the yoke to create roominess and a good fit.
If you want a slightly less advanced project, a regular long-tail cast-on can replace the Italian cast-on. Just take care not to cast on too tightly. A regular bind-off can also replace the Italian bind-off
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.
