Procedure:
The cardigan is knitted top down. Begin by casting on stitches at the centre of the back, then knit back and forth in stockinette stitch with cables - first over the left and then over the right shoulder. Pick up stitches along the front edges of the shoulders and the back. Then, continue knitting in stockinette stitch with cables, while simultaneously working increases for the sleeves and neck and later for the arm holes. The work is then divided, and the body and sleeves are knitted individually. The body is knitted back and forth and concluded with a ribbing and tubular bind off. The sleeves are knitted in the round with cables and concluded with ribbing and tubular bind off. Finally, pick up stitches for the vertical ribbing along the fronts and the V-neckline. The ribbing is attached continuously whilst being knitted and buttonholes are created at the same time.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a knitting kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In some cases, however, you will not receive a pattern as part of your order:
If you buy a Yarn kit, you will only receive yarn for the design in question. Yarn kits are only sold for selected designs from external designers, where we do not have the right to sell the pattern. When a kit is sold without pattern, you can always see it in the header, which will say (excl pattern) in the header.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- For a select, few designs from PetiteKnit, we will add a printed pattern to the parcel - but for most PetiteKnit designs, you will not receive a pattern, as they are mainly sold as yarn kits (excl pattern). In these cases you will always be able to see it in the header, where it says (excl pattern).
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.
