Karlchen, die top-down-Mütze

Die Anleitung für Karlchen entstand, weil ich mehrfach eine Mütze aus einem Rest Garn strickte und das dann nicht reichte – oben blieb die Mütze mangels Garn offen – *grrr*. Die Lösung war für mich eine Mütze, die man von oben nach unten strickt. Wenn am unteren Ende der Mütze 5 Meter Garn fehlen, macht das garnix!

Die Anleitung ist für die verschiedensten Garnstärken berechnet.

Die Anleitung für Karlchen gibt es hier auf Englisch.

“Thanks so much, Silke! I stepped away from my computer for a few minutes and when I returned — voila! There it was! Isn’t it unbelievable that we can make an exchange like that over thousands of miles in mere minutes? It’s not that long ago it would have taken days or weeks.

You might enjoy the story of how your pattern saved my day.

I have a daughter who lives in a drafty 1918 farmhouse, who wanted vests for her baby girl. I used a pretty (and pretty expensive) Crystal Palace “Bunny Hop” yarn to trim a vest, and had a lot left over so thought I’d make a hat for her. I started bottom up, and misjudged the gauge I’d get on a circular vs. straight needle, so the hat turned out too big for a baby. And, I ran out of yarn just at the end.

I decided to go get more yarn to finish the hat for the baby’s 4-year-old sister. Then I had more yarn left over, so I made socks to match the hat. Of course, I ran out of yarn just at the end again!

So I decided to make matching socks for the baby. I just finished them, and I have quite a lot of yarn left over. I’ve made top-down “chemo caps” from Berocco’s “Chinchilla” yarn, and figured someone clever had already figured out how to do it with other yarns so I can just use what I have this time. . .and quit.

So thanks again! I really appreciated that you figured this out for the rest of us, and shared it.”
