Knitting kit for Elina Summer Top by Katrine Hannibal in Önling No 14
Elina summer top is a versatile and stylish summer top. The top can be worn in several ways: as a halterneck by tying the straps around the neck, with the straps fastened at the back using two buttons, or with crossed straps for a modern cross on the back. Add one or two bows for the finishing touch.
The top is worked in our soft summer yarn Önling No 14, made from 100% Tencel (TM), which is soft, shiny and has a beautiful drape. The yarn is made from 100% cellulose fibres, making it an ideal choice for the conscious consumer.
The knitting kit contains: Önling No 14 for the selected size and color and a digital pattern in english

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.
