Hanstholm Sweater Junior Knitting Pattern by PetiteKnit

Hanstholm Sweater Junior is knitted from top to bottom with raglan take-offs. The ribbing of the neck is worked in yarn overs to form the neckline.

Size guide: The Hanstholm Sweater Junior should have a movement space (positive ease) of approx. 15cm in relation to the chest measurement.

If, for example, the child measures 56cm around the chest, you should knit a size 3-4 years. A shirt in size 3-4 years has an excess width of 71cm and in the mentioned example will provide a room for movement (positive ease ) of 15cm. If the measured chest measurement differs 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.
