The KARO SWEATER is a classic raglan-style sweater featuring slip-stitch colourwork stripes that mimic a woven texture. The distinct colourwork pattern, evocative of squared paper, reminds us of school days spent colouring in the little squares during idle moments. This playful engagement with ‘Karo(papier)’ - a colloquial German term for squared paper - not only inspired the sweater’s name but also mirrors the whimsical joy found in the simplicity of its design. Design highlights
The KARO Sweater’s defining feature is its slip-stitch colourwork stripes, achieved by weaving the contrast colour around stitches without knitting them. This creates distinctive textured bumps, with alternating stitches slipped with the yarn in front or back. The sequence reverses in each repeat, maintaining the colourwork pattern throughout, while all shaping is subtly incorporated into the main colour sections. |
