Knarr Sweater Modifications

My testing team came up with some great modifications for my Knarr Sweater pattern. Here are a few of my favourites.


A person in a colourful crocheted sweater and hat stands in a forest with ivy-covered trees, looking down. Earthy background with leaves.

@tortietreblemakerdesign (Emma) wanted to make her Knarr sweater into a longer tunic.


Emma left off the ribbing to give a loose flowing look.


Emma made her neckline deeper than intended and came up with triangular shaped inserts to cover the space.


I love how this Knarr has an almost historical silhouette that fits well with the Viking vibes of the original design.


The seaming at the front gives a laced-up effect.



A person smiles outdoors, wearing a gray crocheted sleeveless top. Background features rocks, grass, and palm trees, creating a relaxed mood.

@aliciacrochetz made this sleeveless Knarr by making multiple spine panels and seaming them together.


I love the idea of the spine panels going up over the shoulders.


Whether this construction would fit you depends on the yarn you use and how wide your spine panels are. You can adjust the spine panel's width with extra stitches and Emma (above) tried that out when she made a wider Knarr headband.






Person in red crochet top and yellow plaid pants stands indoors. A tattoo and necklace are visible. Sunlight filters through curtains.

@cowynut made this incredible v neck Knarr by making 1 central spine panel and splitting it in the middle.


I love those chevrons continuing up over the shoulders.


The rest of the top and quarter length sleeves are herringbone stitches.


Such an elegant modification!








Woman with blonde hair wearing a blue crochet top and beanie stands outside in a park. Tattoos and bracelets visible. Overcast sky.

@nikitadoomcrochets also made a sleeveless Knarr.


This sleeveless version was constructed in the same way as the sweater but with shorter spine panels which just cover the shoulder. This is something I want to try myself with the warmer weather hopefully coming soon!


Nikita's spine panels are also facing the other direction, which is another fun option.








A person in sunglasses wears a colourful crocheted Knarr poncho and stands in a garden with trees and a wooden fence. The mood is calm and casual.

Another fabulous modification by @tortietreblemakerdesigns!


This was made using the same yarn I used for the original Knarr sweater - James C Brett Marble Chunky.


For this piece, Emma made 2 long spine panels to go up and over her shoulders and used herringbone stitches for the main body of the piece.


Emma filled in the wide neckline with a contrasting yarn and made a belt to keep this open-sided piece in place.




If you'd like to make your own Knarr you can find it in the following places:
