Knitting kit for Esther's Stripy Summer Top in Önling No 21 + No 13

Esther's Striped Summer Top is our take on a wonderful, simple and becoming summer top with a twist. The circular design is flattering and enhances the feminine shape, which is exactly why we're so fond of designing tops with circular yokes. It features contrast-colored stripes, perhaps even in different yarns, which gives it a slightly maritime look and demonstrates our fondness for stripes. We have added extra details such as Italian cast-on and bind-off.

We have discovered a new yarn combination that we really love - No. 21, linen and cotton, combined with No. 13, a very light accompanying thread in lambswool and cashmere. No. 13 adds sublime softness to No. 21, which makes it our new summer favorite.

The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page. You will also receive an e-mail with a link to your pattern, and the pattern will be available here at the site via your personal account - so remember to create an account :-) Read more about digital knitting patterns here.

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.
