t’s been a while since I had the idea to knit a completely reversible cardigan. I tried a lot of things, but either the edge stitches weren’t so nice or the increases didn’t look so good from the wrong side.
Using the selvedge stitch closed methode , developed by Assia Brill, resulted in a handsome edge from both sides and the increases worked as lifted increases looked good from both sides. Finally, I had a cardigan that could be worn from both sides.
The cardigan is worked completely seamless from top to bottom in garter stitch, either almost monochrome or with blocks of color.
For a nice summer version work the cardigan cropped with ¾ sleeves or work a longer cardigan with long sleeves and a straight fit or an A-line - there are lots of possibilities to make it your own.
Instructions for both versions showed on the photos are included in the pattern.
Both the selvedge stitch closed method and increases are explained with photo tutorials.
Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL)
Bust circumference of the finished cardigan (not overlapping)
33.5 (36.2 - 39.0 - 42.5 - 45.7 - 49.2)”
85(92 – 99 – 108 – 116 – 125) cm
To achieve a good fit in the shoulder area, the upper cross back width is crucial first. If necessary, the required bust circumference can be adjusted by increases. Therefore, it is better to start with the next smaller size if necessary.
Yarn:
The nearly monochrome cardigan on the photo is worked with Ferner, Merino 120, (131yds/120m per 50g), col. M402 (main color), col. M421 (CC1) and Wollmeise DK (468yds/428m per 200g) col. Zimtapfel (CC2).
The amount of yarn needed depends on the choice of wool, individual knitting strength and especially the length of the jacket. The quantity given here is calculated for a cardigan with a lower body length of approx. 15” / 38cm and long sleeves and a nearly monochrome version.
Main color: (gray)
1200 – 1310 – 1417 –1580 – 1745 – 1960 yds
1100 – 1200 – 1300 – 1450 – 1600 – 1800 m
Contrast Color 1: (green)
120 – 131 – 142 – 164 – 185 – 220 yds
110 – 120 – 130 – 150 – 170 – 200 m
Contrast Color 2 (red) : 11 – 27 yds / 10 – 25 m
yardage for the cropped version using On Stage Sport by natures luxury:
Main color (cry wolf): 3-3-4-4-5-5 skeins
Contrasting colors (Sunny and Bersoin de Personne):
1-1-1-1-1-2 skeins (each color)
Needles:
Please note that the indicated needle size is only a recommendation and may vary depending on individual knitting strength. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Size US4 (3,5mm): Circular needles at least 31´´ (80cm) for the body and double pointed needles for sleeves or long circular needle if using magic loop method
Tools:
stitch markers
waste yarn or spare needle for holding sleeve stitches and provisional cast on for the underarm stitches
crochet hook for the provisional cast on (size doesn´t matter)
tapestry needle to weave in the yarn ends

Es ist schon eine Weile her, dass ich die Idee hatte, eine Wendejacke zu stricken. Ich habe viel ausprobiert, aber entweder die Randmaschen waren nicht so schön oder die Zunahmen sahen von der Rückeite nicht so gut aus. Mit der Methode der “selvedge stitch closed Randmasche” , entwickelt von Assia Brill , ergab sich ein von beiden Seiten ansehnlicher Rand und die Zunahmen, gearbeitet als „lifted increases“ sahen von beiden Seiten gut aus. Schließlich hatte ich eine Strickjacke, die von beiden Seiten getragen werden kann.
Die Jacke wird vollkommen nahtlos von oben nach unten kraus rechts gestrickt, entweder fast einfarbig mit kleinen Farbakzenten oder aber mit Farbblöcken.
Stricken Sie die Jacke für eine Frühlings- oder Sommerversion kurz mit ¾-Ärmeln, klassisch mit längerem Körper und gerader Passform oder A-Linie und langen Ärmeln - es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, diese Jacke nach Ihren Wünschen zu gestalten.
Sowohl die „selvedge stitch closed Methode“ als auch die „lifted increases Methode“ werden in der Anleitung in Fototutorials erklärt. In der deutschen Anleitung werden die englischen Strickabkürzungen verwendet, die auf Deutsch erklärt sind.
