Yarn kit for Sweater No 18 by My Favourite Things Knitwear in Önling No 1 + 10 (excl pattern)
Sweater No. 18 is an oversize sweater worked in a textured pattern consisting of knit and purl stitches. The silhouette is inspired by the voluminous tops of the 80’s and features dropped shoulders and a boxy fit.
The intricate shoulder construction makes the sweater stand out with extra attention to detail. The sweater is worked from the top down without any need for additional finishing.
Here we knit Sweater No 18 in Önling No 1 and silk mohair. The result is a remarkably cozy and fluffy sweater, with af beautiful defined stitch pattern.

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.
