Storm Sweater Junior - Paper
The Storm Sweater Junior is knitted from the top down in textured knit. First, the back piece is knitted back and forth. Then, stitches are picked up for the shoulders, which are gathered at the front to the front piece. The front and back piece are gathered under the armhole to form the body, which is knitted straight down. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. A rib edge is knitted at the neck, which is folded and knitted down. The Storm Sweater Junior is knitted in textured knit, which consists of four different pattern segments.
Knit a test piece before you start knitting to measure the knitting tension – please note that the knitting tension in both height and width must be correct to achieve the measurements stated on the front. You can knit a test piece according to the diagram in the pattern.
Size guide
Storm Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 20 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 (10-11) 11-12 (12-14) years correspond to a bust measurement of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 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 e.g. measures 62 cm around the bust, you should knit size 5-6 years. A sweater in size 5-6 years has a chest width of 80 cm and in the above example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 21 cm. If the measured bust measurement deviates from the age guide, you should be aware of adapting the lengths to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
