Knitting kit for Holly sweater by Ruth Sørensen for Önling in No 20
This pattern is specially designed for Önling's advent calendar 2022 by the talented Ruth Sørensen. Ruth is the 'indoor world champion' in designing beautiful Fair Isle patterns. Holly is worked in Önling No 20, which after all comes from Shetland and is perfect for Fair Isle knitting. Holly is worked top down and has narrow Fair Isle stripes and is two-colored rib edges.
Holly sweater has a loose fit and you should choose a size that is 15-20 cm larger than your chest circumference. The sweater does not have a very over-sized look once it is knitted. It just looks better if it's not too tight.
