Knitting kit for Rikke Sweater in Önling No 1
Knit the Rikke Sweater, a classic must-have sweater designed in a fine rib pattern with an integrated lace pattern.
The attention to detail and fit is second to none and with a slightly high neck, beautiful raglan and built-in lace pattern, this will be a must-have in your wardrobe! The sweater has an oversize fit that will expand quite a lot after washing and blocking. The positive ease is 15-20 cm - if you want a sweater that fits a little tighter, go down a size.

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.
