Friday Sweater - Paper
This recipe is in Norwegian.
The Friday Sweater is knitted top down in pearl rib with raglan increases. The neckline is knitted in rib and worked down. The sleeves and body are finished with a rib edge.
Knit a swatch before you start. Remember to wash the swatch before measuring the tension – pearl rib grows in the wash.
Size guide
Friday Sweater should have a positive ease of approx. 10-13 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 adhered to). 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 67 cm and will in the above example give a positive ease of 11 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.
