Frankie Sweater Baby

Frankie Sweater Baby is knitted from the top down with raglan increases in the yoke. Short rows are worked at the neck to shape the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. Frankie Sweater Baby is knitted with narrow stripes in several colours or in a single colour.

Size guide

Frankie Sweater Baby should have approximately 10–12 cm of positive ease (positive ease) relative to the child’s bust measurement. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure the child before you start knitting to determine which size will fit best. For example, if the child’s bust measures 48 cm around, you should knit size 6–9 months. A sweater in size 6–9 months has a width of 60 cm and will provide 12 cm of positive ease (positive ease) in this example. The size chart is available  here.
