Anker's Sweater

Ankers Sweater is knitted from the top down. The yoke consists of ribbing sections followed by classic raglan increases. The sleeves are knitted last on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. Ankers Sweater is seamless.

Size Guide

Ankers Sweater should have a positive ease of approx. 10-15 cm relative to the bust measurement. Sizes 0-3 months (3-6 months) 6-9 months (9-12 months) 1-2 years (2-3 years) 3-4 years (4-5 years) 5-6 years (6-7 years) 7-8 years (8-9 years) 9-10 years (10-12 years) correspond to a bust measurement of approximately 42 (45) 47 (49) 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (77) 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 the child, for example, measures 56 cm around the chest, you should knit size 3-4 years. A sweater in size 3-4 years has a width of 70 cm and will, in the stated example, provide a positive ease of 14 cm. 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.
