Karl Nr.14 The casual, figure-friendly A-line sweater

Karl No. 14, “The Casual One,” is knitted in a figure-flattering light A-line shape. A wonderful winter sweater made from Donegal tweed yarn — the perfect throw-on piece. The entire sweater is knitted in patchwork technique, all in one piece and without a single seam.

You should be able to:
Knit and purl, pick up stitches, knit stitches together and weave in ends.
Patchwork knitting is beginner-friendly knitting! It may look complicated, but in most cases it’s actually quite simple. For this little jacket, you only need to knit and make simple decreases. The pattern includes lots of pictures and detailed patch instructions. A little patchwork experience can be helpful, but it’s definitely not required. Anyone who has already knitted one of my “Karls” will certainly manage without any problems. And anyone with knitting experience will definitely be fine as well. If you’re still a beginner, I simply recommend following the instructions word for word without overthinking it — then it will work out too.

I also made two short videos about picking up stitches and weaving in ends. Please excuse the less-than-perfect quality — I’m not exactly a filmmaker; I can truly knit much better than I can film… sweating a little … but they should definitely be good enough to show how I do it ;-)
