PetiteKnit – September Sweater Junior
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.
September Sweater Junior is knitted from top to bottom in patent knitting. First, the back is knitted, by adding stitches to the neck and knitting back and forth on the needle with increases on each side. Next, stitches are picked up to the shoulder parts, which are knitted separately, and then brought together at the front when the front piece is to be knitted. Under the armhole, the back piece and the front piece meet to form the torso, which is knitted in the round on circular needle. Stitches are then picked up for sleeves, which are knitted in the round with decreases on a short circular needle. Finally, stitches are picked up in the neckline to knit the elastic edge of the neck, which is folded double and knitted down. The September Sweater Junior is therefore assembly-free.
Do a swatch before you start knitting, to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength. Be aware that it is difficult to measure patent knitting, as it is elastic - so measure all distances several times.
Note that patent knitting will stretch slightly in width during washing and use. Therefore, you can count on your September Sweater Junior to increase in circumference by approximately 4-6 cm in excess width, in relation to the measurements indicated on the front of the pattern.
