Sweater / Sleeveless Top ‘Livia’ – Knitting Instructions

Product description

Livia, a Sweater with a Unique Neckline – Modern, Cozy, and Quick to Knit
The “Livia” sweater is a real eye-catcher: its sophisticated neckline gives it a modern look that immediately stands out—a design that’s sure to earn you compliments.

The simple textured pattern of knit and purl stitches creates a subtle yet striking look and makes the sweater versatile for pairing with other pieces.

It’s knitted with Aran yarn and size 5 needles—so your sweater comes together pleasantly quickly and is perfect as a relaxing “TV project.”

Can also be worn as a sleeveless sweater: If you like, you can simply leave out the sleeves for a lighter version suitable for year-round wear.

Perfect for you if you:

• want to knit a special sweater that’s suitable for everyday wear
• are looking for a project that isn’t too complicated
• want a design that’s guaranteed to stand out

A big thank you to my dedicated test knitters, whose positive feedback helped me perfect this pattern.

großer, schöner Topflappen
Mein 1. Werk mit Double Face hat nach Anfangsschwierigkeiten gut funktioniert. Ich habe die geforderte Maschenzahl mit beiden Fäden aufgenommen. In der 1. Reihe habe ich die Farben Vorderseite re. Ma. Rückseite li. Masche getrennt. Nach dem Wenden der Reihe liegt dann die Rückseite vorne. Merke: Maschen die man vorne sieht sind immer rechts. Für den Musterverlauf strickt man immer 1 Ma. re. u.1Ma. li. Dann kann das Musterschema mit Farbwechsel leicht umgesetzt werden. Mir hat es Spaß gemacht. Die Arbeit ist Konzentration und meditativ.

Tolle Anleitung
Ich bin bisher bei jeder Anleitung zu Doubleface schon beim Anschlag gescheitert. Mit dieser super erklärten Anleitung habe ich es endlich hinbekommen.

Babydecke "Du bist direkt in mein Herz hineinspaziert"
Ich stricke diese Decke jetzt schon das zweite Mal. Wolle Rico Design Creative silky touch dk vegan, Farbe silbergrau. Anspruchsvolle Anleitung, aber machbar, vor allem wenn man mit Maschenmarkierer (oder Sicherheitsnadeln) arbeitet.

Eine Herausforderung!
Nach einigen Kämpfen mit mir, der Wolle und der Anleitung ist es nach ziemlich vielen Versuchen tatsächlich gelungen! Vor allem die Abnahme mit Muster waren eine echte Herausforderung, man darf nicht aufgeben...
