Noelle Christmas Sweater

This beautiful sweater is knitted in either the soft Önling No 2 (100% merino) or Önling No 4 (organic merino). The delicate pattern with hearts, Christmas trees and presents makes the knitting experience both playful and cozy. Noelle is perfect for winter outdoor adventures and cozy moments – but is beautiful and wearable all year round.

The sweater is designed to benefit Red Cross Christmas aid and for each pattern sold, 5 USD is donated to the Red Cross. Red Cross Christmas aid supports thousands of vulnerable families with children in Denmark every year, who otherwise cannot afford Christmas dinner, a Christmas tree or presents. In 2024, around 21,000 families – nearly 39,500 children – received Christmas aid. When you purchase the Noelle Christmas Sweater pattern, you contribute directly to this important work.

Designed by Katrine Hannibal for Önling.

Procedure
The sweater is worked in the round from the top down. Cast on using the Italian cast-on method for the neck, which is worked in 1 x 1 rib.
The neck is knitted, and short rows are worked across the shoulders and back of the neck at the beginning to create a higher back neck.
The yoke is worked with increases. Then the work is divided, and sleeves and body are finished separately.
