Pattern: Colorways 3 - Oversized Cardigan

Product description

An individually adaptable pattern for a versatile, casual knitted cardigan, designed by Birgit Freyer.

This beautiful cardigan is worked oversized - with lots of positive ease - and has a wonderfully casual drape. The cardigan is worked in several different directions, which showcases the colourways of variegated yarns perfectly.
Stockinette parts, garter ribs and eyelet rows can be combined according to your personal taste.
All parts are knitted together, so there's almost no sewing at the end! Only a small gap in the middle of each square of part 1 has to be closed as a finish.
The pattern describes how to work the cardigan in all individual sizes.

The original sample shown in the picture has been made of Schoppel Zauberball Crazy. The original yarn can be substituted by any variegated yarn in a similar weight.

The pattern contains charts.

Please note: This pattern contains detailed instructions about the construction and shaping, as well as charts for the ridges and eyelet rows. The distribution of the ridges and eyelet rows is up to your choice. On the last page of the pattern, you will find detailed examples.

    Hallo Edda,
    die Angabe der Nadelstärke auf der Banderole des Zauberball Crazy bezieht sich eher aufs Sockenstricken. Für die Jacke empfehle ich Nadelstärke 4-5. Wer fest strickt, sollte zur größeren Nadel greifen, wer locker strickt, sollte die kleinere nehmen. Wichtig ist, dass das Maschenbild gefällt. Die Größe der Jacke richtet sich ja ohnehin nach den persönlichen Maßen.

    Ich möchte diese wunderschöne Jacke stricken, bin mir allerdings unsicher wegen der Wolle. Es wird NS 4-5 angegeben, die Schoppel wird jedoch nur mit 2-3 verarbeitet. Was tun?

      Die angegebene Nadelstärke auf dem Schoppel Zauberball Crazy bezieht sich aufs Sockenstricken, denn da ist das Ziel ein besonders festes, stabiles Maschenbild. Für die Jacke, so wie sie in der Anleitung abgebildet ist, wurde Nadelstärke 4,5 verwendet, und das Gestrick fällt angenehm weich. Sollten Sie jedoch sehr locker stricken, empfehle ich Nadelstärke 4.
