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.

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.
