The Kathmandu sweater is inspired by the hippie era of the 60s and 70s. Kathmandu was a popular destination for many hippies in so-called "hippie trails" at this time. The sweater is worked round and round, from the bottom up. The body and sleeves are worked separately before they are joined Pinne when the yoke is to be knitted.

The Kathmandu sweater for children has a lot of pattern and several sections on the sleeves and body with three colors. This means that the sweater can easily be knitted too tight. Therefore, be extra careful to check knitting tension before you start. Enjoy your knitting!

Knitting tension 10 cm pattern knitting Pinne 4 mm = 22 stitches Most people knit tighter in pattern than they do when knitting solid color stocking stitch. That's why I've included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when knitting pattern. Knitting tension varies from person to person and always knit a sample before you start.
