The 1st version features a large, chunky roll neck, short wide sleeves, an hourglass silhouette, and a relaxed fit with 9-14 cm [3.5-5.5 inches] of positive ease. The 2nd version is designed with a high single collar, long wide sleeves, a boxy oversized silhouette, and 17-25 cm [6.5-9.75 inches] of positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater is seamless, and charts are included for each size.

If you are between two sizes then choose the largest. You can always make it smaller at the waist or bigger at the hips, but it is essential your sweater fits nicely over the bust. For version 1: the measurements for the waist and hips are made from standard measurements - luckily every body is different! Therefore, try on sweater along the way while you are knitting to decide if your waist or hips are higher or lower, bigger or smaller so you can adjust it along the way.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003cbr\u003eVersion 1, Featuring roll neck, hourglass fit and short sleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e400 (450) 450 (500) 500 (550) 550 (600) 650 g \/ 8 (9) 9 (10) 10 (11) 11 (12) 13 balls \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/int.oenling.com\/products\/onling-no-1-merino-angora-yarn-luxury-knitting?variant=15551978963017\"\u003eÖnling No 1\u003c\/a\u003e, 75% Merino Superfine Super 100s Wool, 25% Angora, 50 g = app. 197 yards (180 m), fingering weight: medium worsted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou work with 2 strands held together throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE!\u003c\/strong\u003e If you wish to knit version 1 with long sleeves, you need to purchase another 150 g Önling No 1 for all sizes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOr\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e600 (650) 700 (750) 750 (800) 850 (900) 950 g \/ 12 (13) 14 (15) 15 (16) 17 (18) 19 balls \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/int.oenling.com\/products\/onling-no-3-heavy-organic-merino-wool-yarn-dkworsted?variant=49521798054223\"\u003eÖnling No 3\u003c\/a\u003e, 100% fine organic merino wool, 50 g = approx. 145 yards (133 meters), fingering weight: DK \/ Worsted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou work with 2 strands held together throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE!\u003c\/strong\u003e If you wish to knit version 1 with long sleeves, you need to purchase another 200 g Önling No 3 for all sizes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersion 2, featuring high neck, boxy oversized fit and long sleeves \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e600 (650) 650 (700) 750 (750) 800 (850) 850 g \/ 12 (13) 13 (14) 15 (15) 16 (17) 17 balls \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/int.oenling.com\/products\/onling-no-1-merino-angora-yarn-luxury-knitting?variant=15551978963017\"\u003eÖnling No 1\u003c\/a\u003e, 75% Merino Superfine Super 100s Wool, 25% Angora, 50 g = app. 197 yards (180 m), fingering weight: medium worsted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou work with 2 strands held together throughout.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOr\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e900 (950) 1000 (1050) 1100 (1150) 1200 (1300) 1350 g \/ 18 (19) 20 (21) 22 (23) 24 (26) 27 balls \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/int.oenling.com\/products\/onling-no-3-heavy-organic-merino-wool-yarn-dkworsted?variant=49521798054223\"\u003eÖnling No 3\u003c\/a\u003e, 100% fine organic merino wool, 50 g = approx. 145 yards (133 meters), fingering weight: DK \/ Worsted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou work with 2 strands held together throughout.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommend needles \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCircular needle 6,5 mm (40 \u0026amp; 80 cm) [US 10.5 (16 \u0026amp; 32 inches)]\u003cbr\u003eCircular needle 5,5 mm (40 \u0026amp; 80 cm) [US 9 (16 \u0026amp; 32 inches)]\u003cbr\u003eCable needle (optional)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 stitch markers \u003cbr\u003eStitch holders or a scrap of yarn to put stitches on hold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCable knitting: 2 strands held together 19 sts x 21 rows on needle 6,5 mm [US 10,5] = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches]\u003cbr\u003eReverse stockinette stitch: 2 strands held together 15 sts x 21 rows on needle 6,5 mm [US 10,5] = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcedure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe sweater is knitted in the round worked from the top down. First you knit the collar, then shape the neckline by using German Short Rows, resulting in a good fit along the upper back. Then continue down the yoke while making raglan increases before dividing the work into body and sleeves. In version 1 the body is shaped with decreases at the waist, followed by increases at the hips. Version 2 is knitted straight down. At last you knit the sleeves in the round. The whole sweater is finished with an I-cord-edge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Önling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48722250989822,"sku":"002127-002092","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/9137\/7059\/files\/replic-karen-sweater-knitting-pattern-karen-sweater-version-2-by-onling-knitting-kit-in-onling-no-1-knitting-kits-mille-ejstrup-281423.jpg?v=1786725167","url":"https:\/\/www.shophomesewn.com\/products\/karen-sweater-knitting-pattern","provider":"homesewn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
