Mikado Sweater and Beanie (1-7 yrs)

Tiny cables, delicate stripes, and beautiful texture are the defining features of Mikado Sweater. The decorative mini cables are worked without a cable needle, creating an interesting pattern that continues across both the body and sleeves. The matching beanie adds an extra touch of charm to the set.

The design looks beautiful in Önling No 4, our fine, organic 100% merino wool, or Önling No 2, a light, warm, and wonderfully soft merino wool. Mikado Sweater can also be knitted in Önling No 20 in 100% Shetland wool.

Language: The pattern is available in English, Danish and German
