Yarn package for the Holger Sweater Junior by PetiteKnit.
Stripes are especially beautiful, and the most beautiful love of colorful stripes is found in this wonderful children's sweater! It is a joy to knit and wear and will remain a favorite for a long time!
The Holger Sweater is knitted from the uniquely durable and classic Peer Gynt, wonderfully pure and warm. It is knitted seamlessly from the top down, in the round from the armholes. The sleeves are also added in the round. Peer Gynt has a wonderfully woolly texture and becomes increasingly softer and more comfortable with wear.
Knit this cheerful sweater—your children will love it!
Size guide
The Holger Sweater is designed to have approximately 20–25 cm of positive ease in relation to the chest circumference. 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 body chest circumference of 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (82) cm. The finished sweater measurements can be found on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). If you or the recipient has a chest circumference of 62 cm, for example, you should choose size 6–7 years. A size 6–7 years sweater has a chest circumference of 86 cm and would therefore have 24 cm of positive ease in this case. If the measured chest circumference differs from the recommended age range, you should adjust the length according to the height of the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is smaller or larger than average.
