Harald's Sweater

Harald’s Sweater is worked from the top down. The yoke is worked in rib and shaped with increases. Short rows are worked after the yoke has been completed to raise the back. The body and sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch and finished with a rib edge. **Size guide** Harald’s Sweater is designed to have approx. 18 cm \[7 inches\] of positive ease. The sizes 9-12 months (1-2 years) 2-3 years (3-4 years) 4-5 years (5-6 years) 6-7 years (7-8 years) 8-9 years (9-10 years) 10-11 years (11-12 years) are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 49 (53) 54 (56) 57 (59) 62 (64) 68 (72) 75 (78) cm \[19¼ (20¾) 21¼ (22) 22½ (23¼) 24½ (25¼) 26¾ (28¼) 29½ (30¾) inches\]. The measurements for the finished garment are listed on the front page of the pattern (please note that these measurements are only achieved if the sweater is knitted in the correct gauge). If you/the recipient measures 56 cm \[22 inches\] around the chest, you should knit a size 3-4 years. Size 3-4 years has a chest circumference of 74 cm \[29¼ inches\] which will, in this example, give 18 cm \[7 inches\] of positive ease. If the measured chest circumference deviates from the age guide, you can adjust the lengths to the person you’re knitting for. The same applies if the child is short/taller than average.
