Katrines bridal top by Önling, knitting pattern

Knitting pattern for Katrines bridal top by Katrine Hannibal for Önling

On September 26, 2020, Katrine was married for the second time. She had turned 50, and wanted both a church wedding and to be married in white, but in a more downplayed way. Her first wedding, when she was 27, was a ‘princess wedding’ with her wearing a magnificent dress, lace, veil, and a long train, so she had already tried that. This time she wanted to look good and feminine without too many frills, and she wanted to knit my own top. She managed to find the most beautiful, 5-layered tulle skirt – it had been used by another bride, and her girlfriend helped her shorten it by almost 50 cm to make it fit her. The top was to be made of 100% cashmere from one of our Italian suppliers. She wanted it to be simple, with a symbolic lace pattern.

The symbol pattern is ancient and means: Family. It is a combination of symbols meaning woman, man, and children, which combined means family.

Many knitters have asked about a pattern for the top, and here it is. The design may easily be changed to have 3/4 or long sleeves. And depending on your preferred yarn, it will have different expressions.

The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page. You will also receive an e-mail with a link to your pattern, and the pattern will be available here at the site via your personal account - so remember to create an account :-) Read more about digital knitting patterns here.

Directions: 
The top is worked in the round from the top down. First, the yoke is worked with short rows and increases, and then with increases in the lace pattern. Finally, the yoke stitches are divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately. This allows you to try on the top as you go and make adjustments to make it fit perfectly. It is very easy to adjust the length to be shorter or longer as you prefer.
