PetiteKnit – Zipper 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.
The Zipper Sweater Junior is knitted from top to bottom in one piece. The neck edge is knitted in elastic, which is folded double and knitted down. The yoke is knitted with raglan increases, first back and forth on circular needle to make room for the zipper, and then around on circular needle. Body and sleeves are knitted in the round. Finally, a lining for the zipper is knitted out of resting stitches, so that the zipper looks nice even from the back when it is sewn on. The zipper is finally assembled by sewing it in between the two layers of knitted fabric - by hand or by machine.
Knit a test patch to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength.
