This yarn kit does not contain the original yarn used by PetiteKnit, but carefully selected yarn that matches the gauge:
Bag: 100 (150) g of Önling no 21, 60% cotton, 40% linen 50g=105 meters/214 yards.
Purse: 50 g of Önling no 21, 60% cotton, 40% linen 50 g=105 meters/214 yards.
Gauge: 18 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in lace pattern on 3.5 mm [US4] needles
Worked with 3 strands throughout.
Suggested needles: Circular needles: 3.5 mm [US4] / 40 cm [16 inches]; Double-pointed needles: 3.5 mm [US4]
Procedure: Florence Bag is worked seamlessly from the top down. First, a stockinette stitch edge is worked, then the sides of the bag are worked in the round in lace pattern. The bottom is worked in lace pattern with decreases. Finally, a lining is sewn and then sewn into the bag and a leather strap is attached. The accompanying purse is worked from the top down. The bottom is sewn together with Kitchener Stitch. Finally, a lining is sewn and then sewn into the purse.
The pattern includes the sewing instructions for the lining.
Begin by knitting a swatch to find out which needle size will give you the correct gauge. Wash and block the swatch before measuring gauge.
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 bt placing an order and stating the 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 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.
