Friday Sweater Baby

Friday Sweater Baby is a cute sweater that is knitted from top to bottom in pearl rib with raglan openings.

The neckline is worked in rib and worked down. Sleeves and body are finished by a ribbed edge.

Knit a test piece before you start. Remember to wash the test patch. before the knitting strength is measured - pearl rib grows in the wash.

Size guide

Friday Sweater Baby should have a range of motion ( positive ease) of approx. 10-13 cm in relation to the child's chest measurement. Measure the child. before you start knitting. to assess which size. that will fit best. For example, if the child measures 44 cm around the chest. should you knit a size 6-9 months. A sweater in size 6-9 months has an overall width of 56 cm and in the example mentioned will give a room for movement ( positive ease ) of 12 cm.
