Prisme Sweater Junior

**PRISME SWEATER JUNIOR** - P R I S M E is a classic Nordic pattern with an elegant and graphic expression. Due to the repetitions of the prism, the geometric shape creates the illusion of a reflective prism. The P R I S M E series also includes knitting patterns for an adult sweater, a vest, a shawl and a scarf. **Sizes** Sizes: 2 (4) 6 (8) 10 (12) 14 years Fits a chest circumference: 53 (58) 63 (67) 71 (76) 80 cm Chest circumference (finished sweater): 60 (66) 70 (74) 78 (84) 88 cm Sleeve length: 24 (27) 28 (30) 33 (37) 38 cm Total length: 38 (40) 43 (46) 48 (50) 54 cm, centre front below the neck ribbing. **Size guide** Prisme Sweater Junior is designed to be worn with a positive ease of 6-8 cm. This means that the sweater can be worn under a raincoat or vest or can be used as an indoor sweater. Take measurements of the child’s body’s widest part and add 6-8 cm of positive ease. Better slightly larger than too small. For example: If the child’s chest circumference measures 67 cm, you should choose size 8 years. With the correct gauge, the sweater will have 7 cm of positive ease. Sleeve length and total length are just recommendations for the different sizes. Take measurements and adjust the sweater, if necessary, so that it fits perfectly. **Yarn** Pura Lana, 50 % wool, 50 % alpakka, 115 m/50g by Gepard Garn **Main colour** 200 (200) 250 (300) 300 (350) 400 g Pura Lana col. 818 / 812 **Contrasting colour** 50 (50) (50) 50 (50) 50 (100) g Pura Lana col. 886 / 748 **Yarn alternatives** Eco Cashmere Vintage, 100% cashmere, 150 m/50 g by Gepard garn Jensen Yarn, 100% wool, 250 m/100 g by Isager Peruvian Highland Wool, 100% wool, 100 m/50 g by Filcolana. **Recommended needles** Circular needle 4 mm, 40 and 80 cm Circular needle 3,5 mm, 80 cm Circular needle 3 mm, 40 and 80 cm Dpns 3,5 mm Dpns 3 mm (the dpns can be omitted if knitting with the Magic Loop method) Stitch markers Stitch holders **Gauge** 20 stitches x 26 rounds = 10 x 10 cm on needle 4 mm in pattern and stockinette stitch.
