Knitting pattern for Aiko Cape, Önling Knit-A-Long 2019.

We LOVE to knit together with all our dear customers. It was a true joy when so many of you participated in knitting the Emma shawl for last years KAL. More than 1000 knitters in the world joined us!

This year we are making something different than a shawl. Still focusing on something pretty and exciting to knit, with challenging details, beautiful finish and of course a must-have in your knitwear wardrobe.

We are inspired by Japan, creating a simple silhouette and elegant look. We designed a garment for the upper half of the body, which is not a cardigan (no sleeves) or a shawl (it has armholes) – rather something in between a cape, an open poncho and an oversized shawl. We named it the AIKO CAPE. AIKO is Japanese for love and devotion. Two things we have loads of at Önling.

We also offer two different yarn kits for this years Knit-A-Long. Either the soft, light and luxurious combination of wool, cashmere Önling No 11 and silk mohair. Or our classic soft and sustainable Önling No 1, in angora and merino wool. See the kits in related products below.

The pattern is a PDF file and is released in 3 parts/clues.
You receive a clue 12. April, 19. April and the last 26. April.
