Yarn kit for Cardigan No 9 by My Favourite Things Knitwear in Önling No 1 + 10 (excl pattern)
Cardigan No. 9 is a classic, slightly oversized cardigan featuring distinctive saddle shoulders, which add character and catch the eye. The back and yoke are shaped with short rows to ensure a good fit. The sleeves are wide at the top and taper towards the wrist, with the sleeve cap shaped using short rows. The neckline consists of a double-knitted section and a ribbed edge, adding an extra touch of elegance to the cardigan.
Here we knit Cardigan No 9 in a combination of Önling No 1 and silk mohair resulting in the most luxuriously soft cardigan.

Size guide
Cardigan No. 9 has an oversized fit. Calculate a positive ease of approx. 20-25 cm [8-10 inches] for sizes XS-XL and approx. 15-20 cm [ 6-8 inches] for sizes 2XL-4XL. The positive ease is designed to provide the most flattering fit for each size.
Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) and a chest measurement of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) cm [31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.5 (37.5-39.5) 39.5-43.25 (43.25-47.25) 47.25-51.25 (51.25-55.25) inches].
For example: You measure 88 cm [34.75 inches] at your widest + 20-25 cm [7.75-9.75 inches] = 108-113 cm [42.5-44.5 inches]. Therefore, you should knit a size S, which has a finished circumference of 109 cm [42.75 inches].

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.
