Celeste Sweater Junior - Paper

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 according to the diagram with 5 different colors. Shortened rows/reversible rows are knitted according to the pattern of the yoke 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 often requires a needle size 0.5-1 mm larger than solid color stocking stitch. Therefore, knit a test piece in both pattern knitting and solid color stocking stitch before you start.

Size guide

Celeste Sweater Junior should have a positive ease 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 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 (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is observed). If the recipient, for example, measures 56 cm around the bust, you should knit size 3-4 years. A sweater in size 3-4 years has an upper width of 73 cm and will in the above example give a positive ease of 17 cm. If the measured bust size deviates from the age guide, you should be aware of adjusting the lengths to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
