Yarn kit for Baby Stripes Sweater, in Önling No 14 (ex pattern)
The Baby Stripes Sweater is a sweet, top-down knitted sweater with raglan increases. It has a straight fit, stripes, and ribbed edges, as well as a round neck. The practical button placket makes dressing easier, especially for the smaller sizes. Here, it is knitted in Önling No 14, a soft and breathable yarn made from 100% Tencel, Lyocell.
Design by Ann-Kathrin Stoll.
Note: The pattern is not included with the yarn kit but can be purchased here.

Tip: Especially for the larger sizes, it is recommended to use Önling No 2 for a lighter sweater. A sweater made with 350 g of Önling No 14 is quite heavy for a 3-year-old.
If you wish to knit the sweater in Önling No 2, you should instead use:

Recommended needles: Circular needle 3.5 mm/ 80 cm/ US 4.
Instructions:
The Baby Stripes Sweater is knitted from the top down with raglan increases. There are two options for working this sweater: Either knit it in rows with a button placket on one shoulder instead of the raglan stitches, or you can knit it in the round from the start without closures. Especially for the smaller sizes, I recommend choosing the button placket to make dressing easier and more comfortable for both you and your baby. Additionally, it has a straight fit with stripe details and ribbed edges. It features a round neck that is shaped with short rows.
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.
