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

Product description

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.

Skills Required / What You'll Receive

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 ;-)

Die Anleitung ist gut verständlich, nur das Zusammenstricken an den Schultern habe ich verpasst 🙃. Zur besseren Übersicht habe ich die Patches, an die weitere Patches angestrickt werden, mit kleinen Zettelchen mit den entsprechenden Nummern mit Sicherheitsnadeln gekennzeichnet. Das macht das Anstricken der neuen Patches an die richtige Stelle viel einfacher. Noch ist die Jacke nicht ganz fertig aber es macht Riesenspaß sie zu stricken. Vielen Dank für die tolle Anleitung.

    Hallo! Ich komme aus Schweden und bin nicht sehr gut in Deutsch. Patch G: Diese Abnahme hält solange wieder an, bis die äußere MM direkt neben der Randmasche
    Angekommen sind Dann entfernst Du diese beiden äußeren MM. Ab jetzt werden in jedem
    Reihe, auch Hin- und Rückreihe, am Reihenanfang, die Anfangsrandmasche mit der ersten.
    Soll ich zu Beginn und am Ende aller Runden je 2 Maschen stricken?

    Guten Abend,
    Würden Sie mir bitte die Maschenprobe mitteilen? Habe diverse Garne im Fundus und würde die gerne verstricken. Es würde mein erster KARL und ich glaube, dass hier die Maschenprobe genau eingehalten werden sollte.
    Danke
    Mfg

      Hallo Barbara22 Maschen und 22 Krausrippen sollten ein Quadrat von 10 x 10cm ergeben. Brauchst aber nicht. Auf Seite3 unten stehen die Maße vom ersten Patch. Das ist dann deine Maschenprobe
