The body is worked in stockinette stitch with stripes, while the sleeves and neck edge are each worked in a different solid color. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth with the slope of the shoulders being shaped using short rows and in stripes, which are worked at the same time. Each shoulder is then worked back and forth on a circular needle, and then the shoulders are joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle with stripes. The sleeves are worked down from stitches that are picked up and knitted around the armholes. At the end, a folded neck edge is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neckline.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Holger Sweater is designed to have approx. 20-25 cm [7¾-9¾ inches] of positive ease. The 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 are designed to fit a chest circumference of 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (82) cm [20¾ (21¼) 22 (22½) 23¼ (24½) 25¼ (26¾) 28¼ (29½) 30¾ (32¼) inches]. The measurements for the finished sweater can be found on the front page of the pattern (please note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is maintained). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf the intended wearer measures 62 cm [24½ inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 6-7 years. A size 6-7 years sweater has a chest circumference of 86 cm [33¾ inches] which in the given example would give the intended wearer 24 cm [9½ inches] of positive ease. If the measured chest circumference deviates from the age guide, you can adjust the length to fit the person you’re knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter or taller than average.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes: \u003c\/b\u003e1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-14) years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChest circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72 (74) 78 (82) 82 (86) 88 (92) 96 (98) 104 (108) cm [28¼ (29¼) 30¾ (32¼) 32¼ (33¾) 34¾ (36¼) 37¾ (38½) 41 (42½) inches]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e36 (38) 42 (43) 45 (48) 49 (50) 52 (53) 54 (56) cm [14¼ (15) 16½ (17) 17¾ (19) 19¼ (19¾) 20½ (20¾) 21¼ (22) inches] measured mid back excl. neck edge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge: \u003c\/strong\u003e20 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 4 mm [US6] needles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circular needles: 4 mm [US6] \/ 60 or 80 cm [24 or 32 inches] and 3.5 mm [US4] \/ 40 and 60 and\/or 80 cm [16 and 24 and\/or 32 inches]; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDouble-pointed needles: 3.5 mm [US4] and 4 mm [US6] (unless the Magic Loop technique is used)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003e6 different colors of Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn (50 g = 91 m [98 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e Peruvian Highland Wool by Filcolana (50 g = 100 m [109 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Sunday by Sandnes Garn (50 g = 108 m [118 yds])\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e: ★★\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e★\u003cspan\u003e☆\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e☆\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoop Knit","offers":[{"title":"PetiteKnit","offer_id":43622894207036,"sku":"PKT0284en","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/9252\/2300\/files\/HOLGER.jpg?v=1761735394","url":"https:\/\/hoopknit.co.uk\/products\/petiteknit-no-frills-sweater-pattern-copy-1","provider":"Hoop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
