AIKO CAPE by Önling, No 1 knitting kit

Yarn kit for Aiko Cape (No 1)

We LOVE to knit together with all our dear customers. It was a true joy when so many of you participated in knitting the Emma shawl for last year's KAL. More than 1000 knitters in the world joined us! In spring 2019 we knitted Aiko Cape.

Katrine Hannibal designed it with a focus on making something pretty and exciting to knit, with challenging details, beautiful finish and of course a must-have in your knitwear wardrobe.wardrobe.

We are inspired by Japan, creating a simple silhouette and elegant look. We designed a garment for the upper half of the body, which is not a cardigan (no sleeves) or a shawl (it has armholes) – rather something in between a cape, an open poncho, and an oversized shawl. We named it the AIKO CAPE. AIKO is Japanese for love and devotion. Two things we have loads of at Önling.

We made this Knit-A-Long in two different yarn kits. This one is in our own soft and sustainable Önling No 1, in angora and merino wool. It is also available in the soft, light and luxurious combination of wool, cashmere Önling No 11 and silk mohair. See the kit in the related products below.

Önling No 1 is 75% Merino Superfine Super 100’s wool and 25% Angora. It runs 180 m pr. 50 g. The yarn is, of course, sustainable, extremely soft and comfy. It is produced by our manufacture in Italy and comes in many beautiful colors.

This yarn kit contains:Önling No 1 yarn for the elected size and a digital pattern.

The pattern is a PDF fileand is released in 3 parts/clues. You will receive an e-mail with a link to your collected patterns,and the pattern will be available here at the site via your personal account - so remember to create an account :-)

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.
