Description

Knitting kit for Gudrun Faroese Sweater in Önling No 12 and silk mohair

Gudrun is a modern interpretation of a Faroese sweater. We have given the classic fair-isle pattern on the yoke a new twist, which – together with the boxy shape and deep armholes – give the sweater a modern look.

The knitting kit contains: Yarn for the selected size and color and a digital pattern 

The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page.

8 stitch markers

Gauge 21 sts & 29 rows in stockinette st on needle size 4½ mm = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches

Please note! It is important that your gauge remains the same in both stockinette stitch and in the pattern. You may need to adjust your needle size in either to maintain the same gauge.

Procedure: 
The sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases. To begin, the sweater is worked back and forth to form the neckline, then the piece is gathered, and the rest of the sweater is worked in the round. The piece is divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately.

Washing directions
The yarn Önling No 12 has NOT been prewashed when you receive the cones. You get the best result by soaking the finished project in lukewarm water for about 2 hours. Then wash the project as you would otherwise do using a wool wash, either by hand or using the wool cycle of your washing machine. Dry flat.

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.
