Exit Sweater – A Tribute to Hanne Falkenberg 
In 2020, Hanne Falkenberg retired and sold her company, Hanne Falkenberg Design, to Önling. 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.

armhole, and the sleeves are worked top-down, first 
back and forth, and then in the round. Finally, stitches are 
picked up along the neckline, and a neat edge is knitted.
