PetiteKnit - Friday Sweater Bundle - Yarn and Physical Pattern

The Friday Sweater is worked from the top down in broken rib with raglan increases. The neck edge is worked in rib and folded. Cuffs and hem are also worked in rib.

Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Remember to wash your swatch before measuring the gauge – as broken rib grows with wash.

The pattern is a physical printed copy that will be mailed directly to you. Not a Digital Pattern. 

Size guide

The Friday Sweater is designed to have approx. 10-13 cm [4-5 inches] of positive ease. The sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-12) 12-14 years are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (78) 82 cm [20¾ (21¼) 22 (22½) 23¼ (24½) 25¼ (26¾) 28¼ (30¾) 32¼ inches].

The measurements for the finished garment are listed on the front page of the pattern (please note that these measurements are only achieved if the sweater is knitted in the correct gauge). If the recipient measures 56 cm [22 inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 3-4 years. Size 3-4 years has a chest circumference of 67 cm [26½ inches] which will, in this example, give 11 cm [4¼ inches] of positive ease.

If the measured chest circumference deviates from the age guide, you can adjust the lengths to the person you’re knitting for. The same applies if the child is short/taller than average.
