Knitting kit for Sharpei sweater by Créadia Studio in Önling No 12 + silk mohair
Sharpei Sweater is a soft and expressive, slightly cropped sweater, made up of horizontally knitted pleats.
The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. First, the body is knitted in the round on circular needles until you reach the desired length, and then divided into front and back pieces. These are worked separately, back and forth on the needles at the same time as the neckline is shaped. The shoulders are sewn together.
The sleeves are knitted with increases to create a balloon effect and are finally sewn on to the body.
The kit contains: Yarn for the selected size and a digital 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.

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.
