Knitting kit for Katrines bridal top by Katrine Hannibal for Önling in our Everyday kit
On September 26, 2020, Katrine was married for the second time. She had turned 50, and wanted both a church wedding and to be married in white, but in a more downplayed way. Her first wedding, when she was 27, was a ‘princess wedding’ with her wearing a magnificent dress, lace, veil, and a long train, so she had already tried that. This time she wanted to look good and feminine without too many frills, and she wanted to knit my own top. She managed to find the most beautiful, 5-layered tulle skirt – it had been used by another bride, and her girlfriend helped me shorten it (we took almost 50 cm off the length) to make it fit her. The top was to be made of 100% cashmere from one of our Italian suppliers. She wanted it to be simple, with a symbolic lace pattern.
The symbol pattern is ancient and means: Family. It is a combination of symbols meaning woman, man, and children, which combined means family.
Many knitters have asked about a pattern for the top, and here it is. The design may easily be changed to have 3/4 or long sleeves.
This knitting kit contains: Önling No 12 and No 13 yarn and a pattern.
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.

Washing directions:
The yarn Önling No 12 and No 13 has not been prewashed when you receive the cones. You get the best result by soaking the finished project in lukewarm water for about 2 hours. Then wash the project as you would otherwise do using a wool wash, either by hand or using the wool cycle of your washing machine. (only recommended if you know you washing machine and trust it to wash wool). Dry flat.
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
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.
