Katrines bridal top by Önling, No 21 + 13 kit
Knitting kit for Katrines bridal top by Katrine Hannibal for Önling in No 21 + 13 kit
On September 26, 2020, Katrine was married for the second time. She had turned 50, and wanted both a church wedding and to be married in white, but in a more downplayed way. Her first wedding, when she was 27, was a ‘princess wedding’ with her wearing a magnificent dress, lace, veil, and a long train, so she had already tried that. This time she wanted to look good and feminine without too many frills, and she wanted to knit my own top. She managed to find the most beautiful, 5-layered tulle skirt – it had been used by another bride, and her girlfriend helped me shorten it (we took almost 50 cm off the length) to make it fit her. The top was to be made of 100% cashmere from one of our Italian suppliers. She wanted it to be simple, with a symbolic lace pattern.
The symbol pattern is ancient and means: Family. It is a combination of symbols meaning woman, man, and children, which combined means family.
Many knitters have asked about a pattern for the top, and here it is. The design may easily be changed to have 3/4 or long sleeves.
The knitting kit includes: Yarn for the selected size and a pattern.
The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page. You will also receive an e-mail with a link to your pattern, and the pattern will be available here at the site via your personal account - so remember to create an account :-) Read more about digital knitting patterns here.

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.
