Vinkel

As of December 2014, the Vinkel knitting pattern for adults is available for free, making it a perfect choice for knitters looking to explore unique garment construction. You can access the Vinkel pattern here.

If you're curious about stepping away from traditional top-down or bottom-up knitting methods, Vinkel offers you the opportunity to experiment with innovative garment design. This delightful and easy-to-follow pattern features diagonal garter stitch and simple shaping techniques that guide you from the front edge across the shoulders and down again. The garment concludes with some straightforward seaming along the back and sides, ensuring a stylish finish.

Highly recommended by testers, knitting both sides of the Vinkel garment simultaneously is advisable to maintain consistency in the number of rows on each side. If you haven't mastered this dual knitting technique yet, now is the perfect time to give it a try and elevate your knitting skills!

Please note that due to the garment's stretchy nature, an issue arose during testing wherein the Vinkel could slip off the shoulders. To address this, I’ve made adjustments to the sizing and introduced a stylish double-breasted front buttoning feature. However, if you still experience slipping, a practical solution is to crochet a series of stitches along the back "V," tightening the fit and ensuring it stays securely in place.

With its unique construction and comfortable fit, the Vinkel pattern is not just a project; it's an opportunity to learn and play with new knitting techniques. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned knitter, you'll find joy in creating this one-of-a-kind garment. Download your free Vinkel knitting pattern today and start your next creative journey!
