Knitting pattern for Rikke Bloom Mohair Sweater by Rikke Jönsson
Rikke Bloom Mohair Sweater is a mohair version of Rikke Bloom Sweater – an eye–catching sweater featuring a distinctive color pattern where the contrast colors stand out clearly against a soft and vibrant background color.
In this version, the background color is worked using three strands of silk mohair (Önling No 10) held together throughout the entire piece. The background color is worked as a fade, where you replace one of the three strands at a time so the colors blend naturally into one another without abrupt changes. The contrast color is worked with one strand throughout, using either Önling No 1 or Önling No 3. This creates a delicate contrast to the airy mohair base and highlights the pattern in an elegant way.
The pattern includes detailed instructions for color changes in both the background colors og the pattern colors.
The sweater has a roomy fit with 20–30 cm / 8–12 inches of positive ease, giving it a relaxed and feminine look. Choose your size based on the fit you prefer.
Rikke Bloom Mohair Sweater combines the Rikke-series' characteristic simplicity with a vibrant and colorful pattern. The light mohair gives the sweater an exclusive, airy feel, while the design balances the timeless with a modern, playful expression. Find the entire Rikke-series here.

Procedure
The entire sweater is worked in color pattern. Begin with the back, which is first worked back and forth with short rows at the neck to shape the shoulders. Then pick up and knit stitches along the left shoulder and shape the front on that side. Next do the same on the right front, just mirrored, and when the neckline shaping is finished, cast on stitches at center front. Join the work to work in the round in color pattern for the remainder of the body. Finish with a rib edge. The neckband is worked in rib pattern. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knitted along the armhole edge, work color pattern in the round, and finish with a rib edge.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Find our instructions for how to wash your knitwear here.
General washing instructions
Wash gently by hand or on a dedicated wool/hand-wash cycle at max. 30°C / 85°F. Use a low spin speed: max. 800 rpm if adjustable, or Low where the options are Low / Medium / High.
Always dry flat. See the yarn instructions and exceptions in the table below.
Start with a swatch
Wash and dry your swatch like the finished piece. Measure gauge only when completely dry; washing and shaping can change appearance and dimensions.
When combining yarns, follow the gentlest care instructions. Test strong colour contrasts in the same swatch; otherwise, keep light and dark knits separate when washing and drying.
Choose the right detergent
Use mild liquid detergent without enzymes or bleach, suitable for all fibres. Choose wool detergent for wool, angora, mohair and cashmere. For knits containing silk, it must also suit silk. For Önling No 14 and No 21 alone, mild delicates detergent is suitable.
In Denmark, we recommend: Neutral Uld & Finvask; Sonett Olivenvaskemiddel til uld og silke Sensitive; or Ecover Uld & Silke (Delicate). Always check the current label. Follow the dosage on the packaging, and do not use fabric softener.
How to hand-wash
1. Wash gently in plenty of lukewarm water, max. 30°C / 85°F, with detergent. Gently press the knit down into the water. Do not rub, wring or stretch.
2. Rinse gently in clean, lukewarm water, max. 30°C / 85°F. A suitable no-rinse detergent may be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Support the whole piece when lifting. Roll in a clean, dry towel and gently press out water. Use this method especially for hand-wash-only yarns.
How to machine-wash
Always test the wool cycle on a swatch. Without a dedicated wool/hand-wash cycle, hand-wash. A regular delicates cycle is not a wool cycle.
Avoid large temperature changes between washing and rinsing, as these can cause wool to felt. Use the towel method instead of spinning if preferred. With rinse hold, drain without spinning. Follow the machine's instructions and remove the knit promptly after washing.
Soaking before the first wash
Find the soaking time in the table below. Place finished knits and swatches in plenty of water without detergent, max. 30°C / 85°F. Keep them submerged and undisturbed. Do not soak yarn in balls, skeins or on cones.
Drain the water and gently press out excess water without wringing. Then wash as instructed. Soaking in water does not replace washing.
Önling No 12, No 13 and No 16 are supplied unwashed after spinning. The first treatment is part of finishing. If soaking continues beyond about 24 hours, replace all the water. This also applies to Hverdagskittet with No 12 and No 13.
This treatment allows Önling No 16 to bloom and soften, and softens the fibres in Önling No 21. Önling No 1, No 2, No 3, No 4, No 10 and No 20 are washed at the mills.
Drying and blocking
Dry flat and fully supported on a blocking mat or dry towel on a moisture-resistant surface. Gently shape while damp and check the measurements. Blocking means shaping, not stretching larger. Use rustproof blocking pins when the pattern calls for them.
Allow air to circulate, replace wet towels and leave to dry completely. Avoid hangers, washing lines, radiators, strong direct sunlight and tumble dryers.
Between washes and for odours
Air wool knits overnight or for a few hours outdoors in slightly damp weather, flat or well supported. Let them rest between uses to regain their shape. Airing can remove smoke and cooking smells. Wash if stained, dirty or persistently smelly.
For spinning-oil odours in unwashed yarns, follow the yarn instructions for the first treatment and subsequent washing with wool detergent.
Fluff and pilling
Pilling is mainly caused by friction. Remove pills only as needed with a suitable tool, testing an inconspicuous area first. Take care with airy, loosely knitted and long-haired knits. Wool combs and fabric shavers are not recommended routinely for all yarns.
Storage
Store knits folded, clean and completely dry. Protect wool knits and yarn from moths, for example in a clean, sealed container, and check the contents regularly.

Allow air to circulate, replace wet towels and leave to dry completely. Avoid hangers, washing lines, radiators, strong direct sunlight and tumble dryers.
Between washes and for odours
Air wool knits overnight or for a few hours outdoors in slightly damp weather, flat or well supported. Let them rest between uses to regain their shape. Airing can remove smoke and cooking smells. Wash if stained, dirty or persistently smelly.
For spinning-oil odours in unwashed yarns, follow the yarn instructions for the first treatment and subsequent washing with wool detergent.
Fluff and pilling
Pilling is mainly caused by friction. Remove pills only as needed with a suitable tool, testing an inconspicuous area first. Take care with airy, loosely knitted and long-haired knits. Wool combs and fabric shavers are not recommended routinely for all yarns.
Storage
Store knits folded, clean and completely dry. Protect wool knits and yarn from moths, for example in a clean, sealed container, and check the contents regularly.
