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.

Gauge:

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.
