Karma Chameleon Sweater English

Karma Chameleon Sweater Knitting Pattern (English)

Karma Chameleon Sweater is a slightly cropped model with sculptural sleeves and double knitted edges by the sleeves and neck. It's worked in two-coloured brioche with both colours worked on the same row/round. Cables are made down along the shoulders, top of the sleeves and across the chest. The model is worked top down with different increase techniques shaping the sleeves and body in one, which gives an impression of an inset sleeve.

Choice of size

The sweater has a positive ease of 20-25 cm on the smaller sizes, while the larger sizes har a positive ease of 15-20 cm. Be aware the model somewhat tightens under the bust. This means that you should choose the size measuring 20-25/15-20 cm more than your chest circumference. If your chest measures 96 cm, you should choose a size M.
