Structure Loop sweater by Other Loops, No 15 + silk mohair knitting kit
Knitting kit for STRUCTURE LOOP SWEATER by Other Loops in Önling No 15 + silk mohair
Structure Loop Sweater is a beautiful, oversized sweater with stripes in structured knitting across the body and sleeves. On the shoulder you'll find a rib detail, which continues along the armhole and down as a panel along the side of the body.
The sweater is designed by talented Maja Kløvdal aka @otherloops and here we knit it in Önling No 15 (merino wool) and silk-mohair, which gives a light and soft sweater, completely itch-free and with a modern merino / silk-mohair expression. Image: Dark grey version.
You can also knit in our alternative kit with 1 thread No 20 (shetland wool) and 1 thread No 10 (silk mohair) held together for a warmer sweater with a more rustic look, yet with the softness of the silk mohair. Images: beige and light grey versions.
In addition, we have made a kit in our luxurious Önling No 1 (angora and merino) for a perfectly soft and joyful result.

You work with two strands held together throughout
Recommended needle sizes:
4 mm circular needles (40 and 80 and/or 100 cm)
3,5 mm circular needles (80 and/or 100 cm) or double-pointed needles in the same size, if you don't want to knit Magic Loop
Gauge: 19 sts x 32 rows in structured knitting on needle size 4 mm = 10 x 10 cm
Follow the diagramme for the structured stripes when you knit your swatch. The gauge is very important - especially the height, as several measurements in the pattern is described as a number of rows.
If you do not match the gauge in terms of number of rows, we recommend you try to switch to needles in another material.
Knitting process:
The sweater is worked from the top down. Stitches are cast on for the back of the neck and then worked with rib stitch in both sides, and at the same time increases are worked to form the top part of the back panel. Then stitches are picked up along the edge of the shoulders, and the shoulders are worked individually back and forth. Stitches are then cast on to join the 2 shoulders into the front panel. The front and back panels are joined, and the body is worked in the round on a circular needle. The body is finished by a bottom rib hem. The sleeve stitches are picked up from the armhole, and the sleeves are worked in the round and finished by a rib stitch cuff. Finally, stitches are picked up from the neck opening and worked in rib stitch. The rib stitch neck hem is folded double and knitted down.
The structured stripes on the sweater start on the back and front panels and continue down the body and the sleeves. Follow the placing and the chart for the stripes as described in the pattern below.
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.
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. Often it is enough to hang your woolen sweater / garment outside in the humid weather or bring it with you into the bathroom, when you take a long, hot shower - the steam will often be enough to freshen it up it and remove any unwanted odors.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Everyday Kit
Neither Önling No 12 nor No 13, is pre-washed when you receive it on cones. You get the best result if you soak your finished knitted garment in lukewarm water for approx. 2 hours. Then wash the garment as you would otherwise with washing detergent for wool, either by hand or on a wool program in your washing machine. Dry it by laying it flat.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Silk kit
As the Silk Kit from Önling contains 3 different qualities (linen, wool and silk), we recommend that you always wash your silk sweater / garment by hand, to avoid it changing shape or appearance during wash. The three qualities will react differently to water, temperatures, etc. Önling can not take responsibility for the result if you wash your silk sweater in the washing machine. Your garment made from the silk kit should NOT be spun or tumble dried. Instead, dry it by laying it flat.
