This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
The Storm Slipover Junior is knitted from the top down. First the back piece is knitted, and then stitches are picked up along the cast-on edge of the back piece to form the shoulder sections. The two shoulder sections are then joined together at the front when the front piece is knitted. The back piece and front piece are then joined together under the armhole when the body is knitted in the round on circular needles. Finally, rib edges are knitted along the neckline and armholes. Make a swatch to check which needle size you should use to get the right knitting tension.
You can make swatches based on diagrams in knitting patterns.
Size guide
Storm Slipover Junior should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 10 cm in relation to the bust measurement. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-12) 12-14 years correspond to a bust measurement of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (78) 82 cm. The measurements of the finished slipover are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is maintained). For example, if you/the recipient measures 62 cm around the bust, you should knit a size 6-7 years. A slipover in size 6-7 years has a width of 72 cm and in the example mentioned will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 10 cm. If the measured bust measurement deviates from the age guide, you should pay attention to adapting the length to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
