This is a printed pattern in Swedish.

Celeste Sweater Junior is knitted from the top down with a round yoke. First the neckline is knitted, and then the yoke is knitted in the round in pattern with 5 different colors according to the diagram. Shortened rows are knitted, after the yoke pattern, to knit the back higher and thus create a good fit. The body and sleeves are knitted in the round in stocking stitch and both are finished with a rib edge.

Please note that pattern knitting should often be knitted on a 0.5-1 mm larger needle size than solid color stocking knitting. Therefore, make a sample in both pattern knitting and solid color stocking knitting before you start knitting.

Size guide

Celeste Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 15-19 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 sweater are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is maintained). For example, if the child measures 56 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 3-4 years. A sweater in size 3-4 years has an upper width of 73 cm and in the above example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 17 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.
