Cloud Sweater Junior - Paper
This recipe is in Norwegian.
The Cloud Sweater Junior is knitted from the top down. First, the upper part of the back piece is knitted back and forth, where the slope of the shoulders is formed with shortened needles (reversible needles). Then the shoulders are knitted separately back and forth, also with reversible needles. The shoulders are gathered at the front to form the front piece. The front and back piece are then gathered to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted from open sts along the sleeve opening and knitted in the round on circular needles. The stockinette collar of the neck is finally knitted from open sts.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge.
Size guide
The Cloud Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of approx. 20-25 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 stated on the front of the pattern (please note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is observed). If the recipient e.g. measures 62 cm around the bust, you should knit size 6-7 years. A sweater in size 6-7 years has an upper width of 87 cm and in the above example will give a positive ease of 25 cm. If the measured bust size deviates from the age guide, you should adjust the lengths to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
