Knitting kit for Iridia sweater in Önling No 12 + Önling No 20

Iridia means colorful - and that's exactly what this pretty sweater is. Iridia is worked with 3 strands of yarn and the pattern explains how compose the nice color fades by alternating colors of the 3 strands of yarn.

The sweater is slightly oversized with a nice shoulder detail for a great fit. The model is knitted bottom down with german short rows for shaping and a draping back line at the bottom ribbing.

The yarn kit contains Önling No 12 and Önling No 20, which are the basic colours for the Iridia Sweater. The 3rd strand of yarn is a silk-mohair, which is not included in the yarn kit. Find your yarn stash, get all the best colors of silk-mohair out and knit your own personal sweater.

The top of the sweater is shaped with raglan increases, the body and sleeves are separated and the body finishes with German short rows to create a slightly drooped back. Sleeves are knitted in the round.

You can easily regulate length of body and sleeves.
