PetiteKnit – Friday Sweater

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 Junior is knitted from top to bottom 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.

Size guide

Friday Sweater Junior should have a range of motion ( positive ease) of approx. 10-13 cm in relation to the child's bust measurement. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Before you start knitting, measure the child to determine which size fits best. If the child e.g. measures 67 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 8-9 years. A sweater in size 8-9 years has an excess width of 80 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of motion ( positive ease ) of 13 cm.
