Knitlidt Sweater Junior

Knitlidt Sweater Junior is a light and airy children's sweater perfect for cool weather. The sweater is knitted in the round, from top to bottom and is knitted with raglan removals and German turns both on the yoke and at the bottom of the body, which gives the neck of the sweater a round shape, and makes the sweater the same length on both the front and the back. The sleeves are knitted in the round on either double pointed needles or circular needles with the Magic Loop technique (I recommend the last technique myself). Body and neck can be adjusted as needed and knitted longer/shorter.

Please note that there are 2 different guide needle suggestions depending on the yarn: In the recipe, the 2nd needle presale is marked as [5 mm] and written in blue (read more under guide needles and yarn suggestions) .

Size guide
The Knitlidt Sweater Junior should have a room for movement (positive ease) of approx. 14 cm in relation to the child's chest measurement. 1 1/2 years (2 years) 3-4 years (5-6 years) 7-8 years (9-10 years) 11-12 years corresponds to a chest measurement of approx. 48 (53) 56 (59) 64 (74) 79 cm. That is that if the recipient's chest measurement is, for example, 56 cm, you should knit size 3/4 years, where the overall width of the shirt is 70 cm. Remember that these measurements only apply if the knitting strength is observed.
