Skagen cardigan by Önling, Isager Tweed knitting kit (excl pattern)

Knitting kit for Skagen cardigan, a feminine and classic summer cardigan in Isager Tweed

Skagen Cardigan is our brand new summer cardigan, created in collaboration with the trendy knitting magazine, Laine's Magazine. Katrine Hannibal - the creative design director at Önling - has designed the Skagen Cardigan, which was selected as one of many designs, to be shown in Laine's magazine No 14 (spring 2022). 

The design is inspired by the raw dunes, mare straw and the elongated, wide beaches in Skagen, where Katrine has her holiday home. It is designed with the long, bright summer evenings in mind, where you pull out your favorite cardigan to be able to sit outside for an hour longer and enjoy the light and the long summer evening. The ambition is for Skagen to become the one cardigan that you take with you on holiday, because it is your absolute favorite.

The design is slightly tight-fitting and short, with half-length sleeves, to fit nicely over your top, dress, or skirt. An overall understated, uniquely simple design.

In this kit we knit in Isager Tweed for a soft and rustic result. Please note that the pictures show Skagen cardigan knitted in Önling's own tweed (Önling No 16) - however knitting it in Isager Tweed will give a very similar result.

This kit contains: Isager Tweed for the selected size. The pattern is not included in the kit. If you want the pattern, you can add Laines Magazine No 14 to your order.

As Laine Magazine No 14 is still in pre-order, we will send the yarn and magazine together right after it launches on May 6th, 2022

Materials:
Yarn: 350 (350, 400, 400, 450) (500, 550, 550, 650, 650)g of Tweed by Isager (70% wool, 30% mohair, 219 yds / 200 m – 50 g). 

Needles: US 1.5 / 2.5 mm, US 2.5 / 3 mm and US 4 / 3.5 mm circular needles and DPNs.

Stitch markers and 6-8 buttons (not included in the kit)

Gauge: 25 sts x 50 rows to 4″ / 10 cm on US 4 / 3.5 mm needles in garter stitch, after blocking.

Procedure: The cardigan is worked back and forth in garter stitch, from the top down, to make adjusting the length of both body and sleeves easy. Italian Cast-On is used to make a nice, stretchy neck edge, and add a small tuck before working the main body, starting with short rows over neck, shoulders, and sleeves to ensure a perfect fit of the neckline. The yoke is worked with raglan increases, and the yoke stitches are then divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately and rounded off with tucks inside the ‘twisted’ 1 x 1 rib stitch cuffs and hems.

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.
