PetiteKnit - Frankie Sweater Baby

Opgelet! Dit breipatroon is een Engelstalig gedrukt A5-boekje dat dient te worden verstuurd.

The Frankie Sweater Baby is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked along the back of the neck to shape the neckline. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. The Frankie Sweater Baby is worked with narrow stripes either in multiple colors or in a single contrast color.

Size guide

The Frankie Sweater Baby is designed to have approx. 10-12 cm [4-4¾ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 10-12 cm [4-4¾ inches] larger in circumference than the chest measurement of the baby. The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the first page of the pattern. Begin by measuring the child you are knitting for, before starting the project, to determine which size will fit them best. For example, if the child measures 48 cm [19 inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 6-9 months. A size 6-9 months’ sweater has a chest circumference of 60 cm [23½ inches] which in the given example would give you 12 cm [4¾ inches] of positive ease. Schematics can be found here.
