Yarn kit for the Holger Sweater Junior by PetiteKnit.

Stripes are particularly beautiful and the most beautiful colorful stripe love can be found in this beautiful children's sweater! It puts you in a good mood when you knit it and when you wear it and simply stays trendy for a long time!

The Holger Sweater is knitted from the uniquely robust and classic Peer Gynt, super pure and warm. It is knitted seamlessly from top to bottom, in rounds from the armhole. The sleeves are also knitted in rounds. Peer Gynt is super easy to handle and becomes more and more cuddly with wear.

Knit this cheerful sweater, your kids will love it!

size guide

The Holger Sweater should have a positive ease of approx. 20-25 cm 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 fit a chest circumference of 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (82) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the front of the instructions (note that these measurements only apply if the stitch sample is adhered to). If you/the recipient has a chest circumference of 62 cm, for example, you should choose size 6-7 years. A sweater in size. 6-7 years has a chest measurement of 86 cm and in this case would have a range of motion (positive ease) of 24 cm. If the measured chest measurement deviates from the age recommendation, you should adjust the length to suit the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is smaller/larger than average.
