Worked with one strand throughout.

Stitch markers
Stitch holder
Gauge 21 sts and 25 rows in pattern on needle size 4 mm / US 6 = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches
Procedure
The entire sweater is worked in 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 sts 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 sts at center front, join the work, and work in the round in pattern for the remainder of the body. Finish with a rib edge. The neckband is worked in rib pattern. Sts for the sleeves are picked up along the armhole edge, work pattern in the round, and finish with a rib edge.

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.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a knitting kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In some cases, however, you will not receive a pattern as part of your order:
If you buy a Yarn kit, you will only receive yarn for the design in question. Yarn kits are only sold for selected designs from external designers, where we do not have the right to sell the pattern. When a kit is sold without pattern, you can always see it in the header, which will say (excl pattern) in the header.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- For a select, few designs from PetiteKnit, we will add a printed pattern to the parcel - but for most PetiteKnit designs, you will not receive a pattern, as they are mainly sold as yarn kits (excl pattern). In these cases you will always be able to see it in the header, where it says (excl pattern).
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.
