Jean Sweater Junior

Knitting Pattern for a Classic Raglan-Sweater with a popping wave-lace-pattern in contrasting colors in sizes 1-2 | 2-3| 3-4 (5-6 | 7-8 | 9-10) 11-12 years **Structure:** The sweater is worked with a classic raglan set-up top down in one piece. First of all, the yoke is worked in the wave-lace pattern back and forth in rows to shape the round neck. Afterwards, when the neckline is closed to the round, the yoke is worked with raglan increases and in wave lace pattern in the round. When the sleeves are separated, the body is finished in one piece without any increases and a hem in 1x1 twisted ribbing in the MC. The sleeve stitches are now picked up again and the sleeves are worked in the round in wave lace pattern as well. Shortly before the cuffs, a bunch of decreases is worked for a balloon-like sleeve shape. Then, the cuffs are worked in 1x1 twisted ribbing in the MC to finish off the sleeves. Finally, stitches around the neckline are picked up in the MC and the double folded collar is worked in 1x1 twisted ribbing. The fit of the sweater is neutral to slightly oversized creating a comfortable fit due to the positive ease of 2 to 12 cm. The length is relatively short for a cropped look of the sweater. The most exciting thing is the wave lace pattern – consisting of garter stitch stripes alternating with lace pattern stripes creating the unique wave lace pattern, which is then emphasized by the two contrasting colors. Please note: Due to the lace- wave pattern, the sweater will grow A LOT after washing and blocking – remember that when you try it on or when you take the measurements during the knitting process. **Level of difficulty:** advanced **Materials:** Main Colour (e. g. “Delicate“): 100 | 100 | 100 (150 | 150 | 150) 150 g Organic Soft Merino by Kaos Yarn (225m/50g) AND 50 | 50 | 50 (75 | 75 | 75) 75 g Organic Brushed Alpaca by Kaos Yarn (225m/25g) Contrast Colour (e. g. “Fierce”): 50 | 50 | 100 (100 | 100 | 150) 150 g Organic Soft Merino by Kaos Yarn (225m/50g) AND 25 |25 | 50 (50|50 | 75) 75 g Organic Brushed Alpaca by Kaos Yarn (225m/25g) 4 mm and 3.5 mm circular knitting needles – optional DPNs/short needles for the sleeves Darning needle Stitch markers/left over **Knitting Tension:** 10x10 cm = 22 sts x 34 rs in wave lace pattern, 2 strands of yarn held together on 4 mm knitting needles(wet blocked) **Measurements:** Bust Circumference Finished Sweater: 60 | 65 | 70 (76 | 81 | 87) 92 cm witha positive ease of 2 to 12 cm.
