Kinderpullover mit Rundpasse und Mütze in Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine 120 – S7039

This free downloadable PDF pattern from Schachenmayr provides instructions for two coordinating knitted children's accessories: a round-yoke pullover sweater and a matching hat. The pattern is worked in Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine 120, a popular DK weight merino wool yarn, and is available in three children's sizes: 98/104, 110/116, and 122/128.

What Is Being Made

• A children's round-yoke pullover (Kinderpullover mit Rundpasse): A classic seamless sweater constructed in the round, featuring a structured ribbed cuff, a Jacquard colorwork band, and a distinctive circular yoke shaping.
• A matching hat (Mütze): A coordinating knitted hat designed to complement the pullover, using the same yarn colors and stitch vocabulary.

Materials Used

• Yarn: Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine 120 in Jeans (Fb 00154) – 250 g, 300 g, or 350 g depending on size – and Natur (Fb 00102) – 100 g, 100 g, or 150 g depending on size.
• Needles: Milward circular needles in sizes Nr. 2,5–3,5 (for ribbing) and Nr. 3–4 (for the main fabric), in lengths of 80 cm, 60 cm, and 40 cm. A double-pointed needle set (Nadelspiel) in the same sizes is used for the sleeves.

Techniques Used

• Knitting in the round (Rundstricken): Both the body and sleeves are worked in the round from the cast-on edge up to the armholes, avoiding seaming and creating a smooth, seamless fabric.
• Round-yoke construction (Rundpasse): After the body and sleeves are worked separately to the armhole, stitches are joined and the yoke is worked in one piece in the round, a hallmark of Scandinavian-influenced knitwear design.
• Jacquard colorwork: A stranded two-color Jacquard pattern is worked across rows 1 to 3 of a defined repeat, using both Jeans and Natur shades to create a decorative band on the body and sleeves.
• Sleeve shaping (Ärmelschrägungen): Increases are worked on each side of marked stitches using twisted lifted increases (rechts verschränkt aus dem Querfaden), creating neat, paired shaping along the sleeve.
• Ribbing (Bündchenmuster): The cuffs and lower edges are worked in a striped rib pattern, alternating rounds of Jeans and Natur for a tidy, elastic finish.

Stitches Used

• Stocking stitch in the round (glatt rechts): The main body fabric is worked as smooth stockinette by knitting every round.
• Ribbing (Bündchenmuster): Used at cuffs and lower edges, worked in a striped sequence of 4 rounds Jeans, 2 rounds Natur, 2 rounds Jeans, 2 rounds Natur, and 4 rounds Jeans.
• Jacquard pattern: A stranded colorwork motif worked over a defined stitch repeat, with the first and second stitches of the rapport repeated throughout each round.
• Twisted lifted increases (rechts verschränkt aus dem Querfaden): Used both for sleeve shaping and for the stitch increase round at the end of the sleeve cuff, producing invisible, non-holey increases.
