Little Inge Sweater

Little Inge Sweater is the children edition of Inge Sweater. I really think that the pattern is perfect also for children with its playfulness and the clear reference to the style of the 60s and 70s. I think Jensen Yarn is a perfect yarn for Little Inge Sweater - just like the original Inge Sweater. But I also like the soft combination of Merilin and Alpaca1 worked together, which I used for the sweater in neutral colors.

Wash and block the swatch before measuring the gauge. Size guide Choose the that fits to the circumference of the child. It is easy to adjust the length on the body and sleeves, as the sweater is knitted top down. I recommend considering the length, when you have knitted one pattern less than recommended in the pattern. *The length is measured at the center back, excluding the neckline. Construction Little Inge Sweater is worked from the top down. You begin with the neckline, and at the end of the neckline, short rows are worked on each shoulder. After the neckline, short rows are worked on each side of the front piece, and at the same time, raglan increases are made. Then, the yoke is worked in pattern with raglan increases. The pattern is worked only on the right side. The body and sleeves are then finished separately.
