Lyon Sweater junior

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Lyon Sweater Junior is knitted from the top down. First, the top part of the back is knitted with increases. Then, the shoulder sections are knitted out from the stitches picked up at the top of the back piece. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulder sections and the rest of the yoke is knitted in the round on a circular needle, first back and forth and then in the round. The body is knitted in the round on a circular needle and the sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. Finally, a double-ribbed edge with built-in double knitting is knitted at the neckline. The Lyon Sweater Junior is knitted with stripes from the middle of the yoke downwards.

Size Guide

The Lyon Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of approx. 18 cm relative to the bust measurement. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-13) 13-14 years correspond to a bust measurement of around 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (80) 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 62 cm around the chest, you should knit size 6-7 years. A sweater in size 6-7 years has a width of 80 cm and will, in the stated example, provide a positive ease of 18 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.
