Knitting kit for Aiko Cape in Önling No 1
Inspired by Japanese design and simplicity, this small cape goes with anything. Brimming with loads of delicious detail, it is fun and exciting to knit, and it will make you try techniques such as smock, lace patterns, pockets, linings, and horizontal stitches. This model is perfect as a summer cardigan, as the extra accessory for the bride or confirmand, or as a snug and warm cover on a chilly spring evening.
AIKO is Japanese for love and devotion. Two things we have loads of at Önling.

Designed by Katrine Hannibal for Önling.

Measurements
Finished chest circumference: 130 (150) cm / 51.25 (59) inches
Fits your own bust circumference of 86-110 cm / 34-43.25 inches (111-140 cm / 43.75-55 inches)
Center back length, measured from the highest point of the shoulder, close to the neck: 65(72) cm / 25.5(28.25) inches
Note! The back of the cape is 7 cm / 2.75 inches longer than the front.
Materials Önling No 1
300(400) g / 6(8) balls Önling No 1, 75% merino wool, 25% angora, 50 g = approx. 197 yards (180 meters), weight: DK / Worsted
Worked with one strand throughout.
Recommended circular and double-pointed needles sizes 3,5, 4, and 4,5 mm / US 4, 6, and 7
Crochet hook size 8 for working provisional cast-on and front pocket hems.
Contrasting yarn for cast-on and pocket stitches.
Removable stitch markers: M1 = 2 red, M2 = 2 blue, M3 = 10-12 pink, M4 = 2 green
Gauge
18 sts and 28 rows in stockinette stitch on needles size 4,5 mm / US 7 = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches
20 sts and 25 rows in stitch pattern on needles size 4,5 / US 7 = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches
Procedure
The cape is worked from side to side, from the top down. It starts with increasing on each side of saddle shoulders, working short rows onto the front sides. Following this, the work is divided into left front, back, and right front pieces that are worked separately, creating the armholes. Below these, all stitches are combined on one needle and continued down to short rows to provide for the longer back, then setting aside stitches for pockets, and finally a bottom border. Finally, pocket, armhole and neck linings are worked.
Please Note:
The price of the yarn kit is calculated based on the amount of yarn included, which is the amount we have used to knit the design according to the above measurements. Should you need more yarn, additional yarn can be purchased at regular prices by placing an order and state LOT number in the comment box at checkout. All designs have been thoroughly calculated and tested.
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.
