Sommerkarl No. 8

Product description

Sommerkarl No.8 is a successful combination of patchwork knitting and top-down construction

Skills Required / What You'll Receive

Skills required:
knit and purl stitches
picking up and knitting stitches
knitting stitches together, through the back loop and normally

Size Information

Finished measurements: Size 38/40: width at bust approx. 42 cm, hem width 62 cm
Size 42/44: width at bust approx. 48 cm, hem width 68 cm
Size 46/48: width at bust approx. 52 cm, hem width 72 cm
The length is adjustable. My shirt has a total length of 62 cm. As the lower half of the shirt is worked top down, it can easily be made longer. Simply continue knitting until it is long enough for you (allow approximately 50 g of additional yarn).

Materials List

Knitted with silk yarn with tiny sequins from Temu, 180 m/50 g
The yarn arrived without a ball band. I cannot say whether it really is silk as described, but it was lovely to knit with and feels wonderfully smooth, cool and comfortable against the skin. Of course, you can use any other yarn with a similar yardage.
Instructions for 3 sizes
Size 38/40, yarn required: 250 g
Size 42/44, yarn required: 300 g
Size 46/48, yarn required: 350 g

Dear knitter
Many hours of work went into this knitting pattern. It was created with time, skill, patience and a not inconsiderable amount of coffee, and is protected by copyright.

Making unauthorised copies, passing the pattern on or 'just quickly sending it to someone' is prohibited. Anyone who does so may henceforth
• never have the correct stitch count
• constantly have to unravel their knitting
• find ravenous moths in their yarn basket
• lose stitches without noticing
• continually pull yarn barf straight from the ball, and
• end up with nothing but yarn full of knots

My thanks go to all honest and fair knitters who respect and support creative work by purchasing this pattern.

Without you, patterns like this would not exist. May
• your stitches and patterns always be even
• your projects fit perfectly
• your yarn always last to the very final stitch, and
• you never lose your love of our wonderful craft

With love
Andrea Kirsch
