Friday Sweater Junior

Friday Sweater Junior 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 piece before measuring the knitting strength - pearl rib grows in the wash.

Size guide

Friday Sweater Junior should have room to move ( positive ease) of approx. 10-13 cm in relation to the child's chest measurement. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure the child before you start knitting to assess which size will fit best. If, for example, the child measures 67 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 8-9 years. A sweater in size 8-9 years. has an excess width of 80 cm and in the example mentioned will provide a movement space ( positive ease ) of 13 cm.
