Optionally: A 4 mm straight needle for the Italian cast-on

Note: It may be necessary to go up a needle size when working with 2 colors to maintain correct gauge.

Procedure:
The sweater is worked from the top down. First the neck rib edge is worked in the round, then short rows are worked to shape the neckline and then the work is continued in the round until the total shoulder width is achieved. After this the work is divided for front and back and each section is worked back and forth separately to the bottom of the armhole. Then the sections are joined again, and the body is worked in the round to the hem. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knitted along the armholes and short rows are worked to shape the top of the sleeve. After this the sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle to the cuffs, which is finished with a wide rib with decreases along the outside.

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 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.
