Hanstholm Junior Sweater

Hanstholm Sweater Junior is knitted from the top down with raglan increases. Short rows are worked after the ribbing around the neck to shape the neckline. 

Size guide

Hanstholm Sweater Junior should have approximately 15 cm of positive ease relative to the bust measurement. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5 years) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-10) 10-12 (12-14) years correspond to a bust measurement of approximately 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (72) 78 (82) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). If you/the recipient, for example, measure 56 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 3-4 years. A sweater in size 3-4 years has a width of 71 cm and will, in the stated example, provide 15 cm of positive ease. If the measured bust measurement deviates from the age guide, you should be mindful to adjust the length to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
