PetiteKnit – Friday Sweater Baby

This is a printed pattern in Swedish. The pattern is only sent if you buy at least 2 balls of yarn at the same time. We reserve the right to cancel orders that do not comply with this.

Friday Sweater Baby is knitted top down in pearl elastic with raglan increases. The neck edge is knitted in elastic and knitted down. Sleeves and torso are finished with an elastic edge.

Knit a test piece before you start. Remember to wash the sample patch before measuring the stitch strength - pearl elastic grows after washing.

A sweater in size 6-9 months. has an excess width of 56 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of motion ( positive ease ) of 12 cm.
