Merle sweater by Önling, No 15 knitting kit

Knitting kit for Merle sweater in Önling No 15

This is the sweater that will be a perfect addition to your fall and winter wardrobe, light and sufficiently thin to fit comfortably under your jacket and still make you warm and snug.

The yoke is adorned with fine, simple stripes and pretty ‘bubbles’, which makes it fun to knit. You can make it with 3/4 or full-length sleeves as you prefer. Merle is a great basic sweater that will go perfectly with everyday clothes, jeans, and your favorite pants. It will have very different expressions depending on the colors you choose. It is worked in our Önling No 15 yarn in 100% Merino Wool. The yarn is sustainably produced in Italy, it is very soft, and you can wash it in the wool cycle of your washing machine.

The yarn kit contains: Önling No 15 for the elected size with long sleeves and a digital pattern.

Procedure:  The sweater is worked in the round from the top down. Stitches are cast on using the provisional, crochet caston method to allow adjusting the size of the neck opening before working the neck hem.

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.
