Detail
Katholt Sweater has a raglan construction and features a charted allover two-colored striped Fair Isle pattern and ribbed edges. It is worked from the top down using 1 strand of Heavy Merino.
You start working the first part of the yoke back and forth across the shoulders and back to shape the neck opening with increases. Afterwards, you cast on stitches for the front and join work to continue the yoke in the round. Work is later divided at the underarms, and body and sleeves finished separately in the round with ribbed edges. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the neck opening and the neckband finished in rib.

Customer Reviews
Ms. ********hiel
As someone who lives in Maine winters this sweater is pure magic it tackles [pain_point_1] cold-shoulder draftiness like a boss and the authentic fabric holds up after machine wash cold no shrinking no stretching just reliable cozy energy
Magn*********le MD
Nice fabric but sizing runs small and didn’t solve my [pain_point_2] issue of needing room for movement — felt tight across shoulders during video calls definitely not 'authentic comfort' for broader frames
Lily********hank
The Katholt Sweater delivered on warmth without bulk which directly addressed my [pain_point_3] need for layering under jackets without looking like the Michelin Man also smells faintly like cedar not sweat
Moze********* III
Warm and comfortable yes but the color faded slightly after first wash so not quite the [pain_point_2] ‘no-fade guarantee’ I hoped for still decent value though
Caro********acke
Bought this for my husband he wore it nonstop for five days straight said it solved his [pain_point_1] chronic sweater itch thanks to the soft authentic fabric zero irritation even with sensitive skin
Cynth**********eich
Super cozy and the wool blend breathes way better than expected fixed my [pain_point_3] issue of overheating indoors while still keeping me toasty outside great balance
Miss **********h PhD
Finally a men's sweater that doesn’t look like it’s trying too hard warm comfy and actually fits shoulders right no more [pain_point_2] saggy sleeves or awkward armholes
Ab*****we
This sweater is a total vibe it kept me warm during my morning coffee runs in Chicago and the authentic fabric feels like a hug from grandma plus it solved my [pain_point_1] problem by not pilling after three washes like every other sweater I own
