Robinia sweater by Anne Ventzel, multi color knitting kit in No 1 + silk mohair (5 col)

ROBINIA SWEATER is another classic and beautiful sweater by Danish knitwear designer Anne Ventzel. Robinia is a soft and feminine sweater with an elegant pattern worked in stranded knitting. The sweater is worked from the top down. First the back and front yoke are worked back and forth, then the two sections are joined for the body, which is worked in the round. Stitches are picked up and knitted along the armholes and the sleeves are worked down and finished with cuffs in twisted rib. Short rows are worked both on the front and back yoke and on the sleeves to create a really nice fit.

Here we work Robinia in an ultra soft kit consisting of two yarn types. You work with one strand of Önling No 1 held together with one strand of silk mohair. We recommend that you choose No 1 and No 10 in matching tones for each stripe. In this kit you get yarn for five different stripe colors.
