Knitting kit for Rikke Summer Top in Önling No 21
This is a gorgeous and very feminine summer top that will give some of us sweet memories of our grandmothers’ finest lace-trimmed camisoles. It is worked in an extremely fine rib stitch-eyelet pattern. The rib design is very stretchy and tight-fitting as a vest, with a negative ease of 20-30 cm / 8-12 inches. If you prefer a more loose-fitting top, you will need to go up one or more sizes.
Here we work the top in Önling No 21 (cotton and linen) for a light and breathable summer top. Design by Rikke Jönsson.

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.
