Karst

Karst is a bulky-weight cardigan knit top-down and seamlessly with a hybrid saddle-raglan construction that varies increase rates to give a better fit through the shoulders. Baby-cabled ribbing (which requires no actual cabling) trims the edges. The fronts are curved slightly with decreases. The collar is picked up and knitted on.
Sample is shown modeled with 3 inches of positive ease. Test-knit ease ranged from zero to 4 inches. Choose the amount of ease that you want, but be sure to check the other measurements given in the schematic as well. The given bust measurement is with a very slight overlap of the front edges.
Skills required:
• Long-tail cast-on
• Backwards-loop cast-on
• Picking up stitches
• Increasing
• Decreasing
• Grafting stitches (just a few!)
Yardage details:
• 33.1” - 775
• 37.7” - 925
• 42.3” - 1075
• 46.9” - 1200
• 51.4” - 1325
• 56” - 1425
A note about yardage estimates: There was a lot of variation in the amount of yardage used by my testers, mostly because I encouraged modifications for a good fit - especially important when using a bulky yarn. I’ve tried to give the best numbers I can that will allow enough yarn to complete your project without buying a lot more than you need. Keep in mind that adding length or doing fewer waist/sleeve decreases will increase your yardage. If you’re using a hand-dyed yarn, best to have an extra skein just in case!
Pattern chat thread is here. We’re happy to help with choosing a size/making modifications/admiring your work :)
