Friday Sweater Junior

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

Friday Sweater Junior is knitted from the top down in stockinette stitch with raglan increases. The neckline is knitted in ribbing and then worked down. The sleeves and body are finished with a ribbed edge.

Knit a gauge swatch before you begin. Remember to wash the gauge swatch before measuring the gauge? Stockinette stitch grows after washing.

Size Guide

Friday Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of approx. 10-13 cm 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. If the child, for example, measures 67 cm around the chest, you should knit size 8-9 years. A sweater in size 8-9 years has a width of 80 cm and will, in the stated example, provide a positive ease of 13 cm.
