Copenhagen cardigan by PetiteKnit, knitting pattern
Knitting pattern for Copenhagen cardigan, designed by PetiteKnit.
PetiteKnit took over the danish knitting community a few years ago, when she released the basis sweater 'No Frills'. Her minimalistic signature style is also characteristic for this classic cardigan, named after the Danish capital Copenhagen.
It is a slightly cropped cardigan, designed to be worn with a positive ease of approximately 6-11 cm at the bust. Copenhagen is knit flat from the top down with raglan increases, in stockinette stitch, with a vertical rib along the front edges for the button bands. As an extra detail, the Copenhagen Cardigan features inside pockets.
The pattern is a PDF file that we will manually send to you by e-mail. If you have a Ravelry account, the pattern will also be added to you Ravelry library.

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. Often it is enough to hang your woolen sweater / garment outside in the humid weather or bring it with you into the bathroom, when you take a long, hot shower - the steam will often be enough to freshen it up it and remove any unwanted odors.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Everyday Kit
Neither Önling No 12 nor No 13, is pre-washed when you receive it on cones. You get the best result if you soak your finished knitted garment in lukewarm water for approx. 2 hours. Then wash the garment as you would otherwise with washing detergent for wool, either by hand or on a wool program in your washing machine. Dry it by laying it flat.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Silk kit
As the Silk Kit from Önling contains 3 different qualities (linen, wool and silk), we recommend that you always wash your silk sweater / garment by hand, to avoid it changing shape or appearance during wash. The three qualities will react differently to water, temperatures, etc. Önling can not take responsibility for the result if you wash your silk sweater in the washing machine. Your garment made from the silk kit should NOT be spun or tumble dried. Instead, dry it by laying it flat.
