Knitting kit for Rikke Sweater No 2 in Önling No 2 + silk mohair
The beautiful Rikke sweater No 2 is an extension of Rikke Jönsson's earlier designs, yet it has its very own unique expression. Rikke sweater No 2 features an oversized lok, and the signature rib pattern that characterizes the Rikke series adorns the shoulders in the most elegant way. The pattern continues down the sleeves, creating a beautiful and harmonious coherence in the design.
Here we knit Rikke Sweater No 2 in three strands - one strand Önling No 2, our luxurious 100% merino wool, and two strands exquisite silk mohair. Resulting in a premium luxurious chunky sweater, you'll never want to take off.

Procedure:
The sweater is first worked back and forth and then in the round, from the top down. You start by knitting the two shoulder panels separately. These are then joined, and short rows are worked across the back and front to ensure a good fit. The yoke is shaped with increases along the sleeves. After, the work is divided, and the sleeves and body are finished separately. The sleeves are worked in the round.
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 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.
