As part of this transition, her adult children entrusted us with a very special sweater—the last one Hanne had knitted herself. The sweater came without notes, as Hanne never got the chance to write down the pattern, but it was her wish for it to be called the Exit Sweater, marking her exit from the knitting world. Exit Sweater is the final new model from the iconic designer Hanne Falkenberg. Based on her original sweater, Katrine Hannibal and the Önling team interpreted and created a new version with an updated fit. After careful design and testing, Exit Sweater now stands as a beautiful tribute to Hanne Falkenberg’s long and remarkable career as a knitting designer. The sweater features a classic, square pattern on the front and back, combined with elegant edge details on the sleeves and neckline. It can be knitted in Önling No 20 – Hanne Falkenberg’s classic Shetland wool – or Önling No 2, a soft and luxurious merino wool. With the Exit Sweater, a chapter in Danish knitting history comes to a close, and we invite you to join us in celebrating Hanne Falkenberg’s outstanding contributions to the world of knitting. **Hashtags** #exitsweater #hannefalkenberg #oenlingknit #oenling #katrinehannibal **Sizes** (XS)S(M)L(XL)2XL(3XL)4XL(5XL) Chest: (90)100(110)119(129)138(148)158(168) cm / (35.5)39.25(43.25)47(50.75)54.5(58.25)62(65.75) inches Length: (50)51.5(51.5)53(54.5)54.5(56)56(57.5) cm / (19.75)20.25(20.25)20.75(21.5)21.5(22)22(22.75) inches Armhole height: (19.5)21(21)22.5(24)24(25.5)25.5(27) cm / (7.75)8.25(8.25)8.75(9.5)9.5(10)10(10.75) inches Sleeve length under the arm: (44)44(44)44(42)42(41)41(41) cm / (17.25)17.25(17.25) 17.25(16.5)16.5(16.25)16.25(16.25) inches. **Materials** Önling No 2, 100% merino wool, (merino superfine 100s), 25 g = app. 131 yards (120 meters), DK Light weight (Fingering) (300)325(350)375(400)425(450)475(500)g or Önling No 20, 100 % Shetland wool, 225 m pr. 50 g DK Light weight (Fingering) (7)8(8)8(9)9(10)11(11) balls / (350)400(400)400(450) 500(500)550(550) g **Recommended needles** Circular needle 2.5 and 3 mm / US 1.5 and 2.5 Double-pointed needles 2.5 and 3 mm / US 1.5 and 2.5, unless using the magic loop technique 4 stitch markers Stitch holder **Gauge** 25 sts and 36 rows in stockinette sts on needle size 3 mm = 10 x 10 cm / US 2.5 needles = 4 x 4 inches 25 sts and 40 rows in pattern on needle size 3 mm = 10 x 10 cm / US 2.5 needles = 4 x 4 inches **Procedure** The sweater is worked from the bottom up, with setin sleeves.
