Knitting kit for Silk Sweater in our Everyday kit, nling No 12 and No 13

The Silk Sweater is an nling classic, and one of your absolute favorites – a soft and light basic sweater. The sweater is a bit oversize at the breast width section and has a light a-shape that can be omitted. Small stars can be knitted at the increases, which gives a nice graphic expression. These can be omitted if a more pure and simple expression is desired. The sleeves are designed withlength, but the pattern also describes how to knit long sleeves if desired.

nlings Everyday kit, in nling No 12 and nling No 13, is a light and summerly combination, perfect for tops, T-shirts, and light sweaters. Our Everyday yarn nling No 12, is a light mix of wool and cotton. nling No 13is our companion yarn in cashmere and super soft first-cut lambswool. Knitted together the two strands make up a fantastic combination, as nling No 13 gives nling No 12 a softer look, better texture, and firmer structure.
