General
 
The Verrücktes.ding was created for the Frida Fuchs Advent Calendar 2022. Hence the name because my color choice is "totally crazy". The cardigan can be knitted as a long or short version. With a mohair yarn or without (but then with thicker yarn). 
The crazy.thing is a cozy, long jacket with pockets and is not only nice to wear in winter, but also in summer when it gets cooler in the evening.
They stripes can be kept plain or knitted in a gradient, as here in the model. The consumption is listed per stripe and can be adjusted as desired.
 
The color gradient of the Advent calendar inspired me to write the story about Mia, the chameleon, which can be found at the end of the tutorial.

The wide stripes are knitted in the model from the Frida Fuchs Advent Calendar. The white narrow stripes interrupt the wide stripes and are knitted in the model in the color "white pepper”.
A neutral hatchet thread from Fiffi Lace is used for the complete jacket, also in "white pepper".
 
For the long jacket knit 7 stripes. They can also be knitted in 4 different colors.
The same amount of Steppke Single and Fiffi Lace is needed. The jacket is worked entirely with two threads.
Of course, you can also use a thicker yarn to match the stitch sample.
