Fruit Cardigan Junior ENGLISH
Fruit Cardigan Junior is worked from the top down. The cardigan is worked back and forth on a circular needle, and rib is worked along the front edges to form the button bands. The buttonholes are worked as you go. At the top of the yoke, short rows are worked to raise the back neck. Next, the leaf pattern is worked from a chart with increases along the way. The rest of the yoke is then worked from charts, which continue while the body and sleeves are worked.
The pattern will be sent as a PDF file in English, Danish and Norwegian to your email.

Size guide
Fruit Cardigan Junior should be worked with approx. 10–16 cm of positive ease. The table below gives age groups based on average chest measurements, but all children are different, and it is therefore recommended that you choose the size by chest measurement rather than by age. Measure the child’s chest under the arms at the widest point, usually around the tummy. If you are in doubt, or if the child’s chest measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size.
Example: If the child (regardless of age) has a chest measurement of 56 cm [22″], choose size 3, which has a chest circumference of 69 cm [27¼”].
