Knitting kit for Petra brioche sweater in Önling No 4 + silk mohair
This model is a lovely, classic, no-frills brioche sweater. It can be worn throughout both fall and winter and is completely uncomplicated. You can go splash out with colors, as the sweater is worked with two different yarn qualities, or make a more subdued version if you so prefer. The most difficult problem is to choose how many different color versions you want to make! The design is fairly tight with a positive ease of approx. 2-5 cm / 1-2 inches. You can go up a size or two if you want an oversize sweater. It is knitted in over exquisite merino wool Önling No 4 and luxurious silk mohair.
This yarn kit contains: Yarn for the elected size and color and a digital pattern.

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 by placing an order and state 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.
