Knitting kit for Skagen cardigan, a feminine and classic summer cardigan in Önling No 2
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 Önling No 2 for a soft, delicate and feminine result.
This kit contains: yarn for the selected size and a digital pattern

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.
