Fruit Sweater Junior ENGLISH
Fruit Sweater Junior is worked top-down with a round yoke. The ribbed neckline is folded down and knitted together. Short rows are worked at the top of the yoke to raise the back of the neck. The leaf pattern is then worked according to the chart, with increases incorporated throughout. The rest of the yoke is worked following the pattern charts, which are continued as the body and sleeves are knitted. Note: The charts do not include all stitches—only where the dots are to be placed.
The pattern will be sent as a PDF file in English, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish to your email.

Size Guide
Fruit Sweater Junior is designed to have a positive ease of approx 10–16 cm [4–6.25″]. The table below includes age guidelines based on average chest measurements, but all children are different. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a size based on the child’s actual chest measurement, not their age. If in doubt, or if the child’s chest measurement falls between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size.
