The body is worked in stockinette stitch with stripes, while the sleeves, plackets and neck edge are each worked in a different solid color. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth with the slope of the shoulders being shaped using short rows and in stripes, which are worked at the same time. Each shoulder is then worked back and forth on a circular needle. The fronts and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked back and forth on a circular needle with stripes. The sleeves are worked down from stitches that are picked up and knitted around the armholes. At the end, the front plackets and the rib edge along the neck is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Holger Cardigan is designed to have approx. 20-25 cm [7¾-9¾ inches] of positive ease. The sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-14) years are designed to fit a chest circumference of 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (82) cm [20¾ (21¼) 22 (22½) 23¼ (24½) 25¼ (26¾) 28¼ (29½) 30¾ (32¼) inches]. The measurements for the finished cardigan can be found on the front page of the pattern (please note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is maintained). If the intended wearer measures 62 cm [24½ inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 6-7 years. A size 6-7 years cardigan has a chest circumference of 86 cm [33¾ inches] which in the given example would give the intended wearer 24 cm [9½ inches] of positive ease. If the measured chest circumference deviates from the age guide, you can adjust the length to fit the person you’re knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter or taller than average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes: \u003c\/b\u003e1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-14) years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChest circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72 (74) 78 (82) 82 (86) 88 (92) 96 (98) 104 (108) cm [28¼ (29¼) 30¾ (32¼) 32¼ (33¾) 34¾ (36¼) 37¾ (38½) 41 (42½) inches]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e36 (38) 42 (43) 45 (48) 49 (50) 52 (53) 54 (56) cm [14¼ (15) 16½ (17) 17¾ (19) 19¼ (19¾) 20½ (20¾) 21¼ (22) inches] measured mid back excl. neck edge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge: \u003c\/strong\u003e20 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 4 mm [US6] needles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circular needles: 4 mm [US6] \/ 60 or 80 cm [24 or 32 inches] and 3.5 mm [US4] \/ 40 and 60 and\/or 80 cm [16 and 24 and\/or 32 inches]; Double-pointed needles: 3.5 mm [US4] and 4 mm [US6] (unless the Magic Loop technique is used)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 different colors ofDK weight yarn (approx.50 g = 108 m [118 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStripe colors for the body: Approx. 65 (74) 79 (84) 89 (102) 110 (116) 120 (128) 136 (145) g in each color\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRib hem on the body: Approx. ca. 23 (23) 25 (25) 27 (27) 27 (29) 29 (30) 33 (33) g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleeves: Approx. 31 (36) 40 (45) 50 (52) 54 (57) 61 (64) 67 (71) g in each color\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck edge: Approx. 11 (11) 11 (11) 12 (12) 12 (12) 13 (13) 14 (14) g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront plackets: Approx. 20 (22) 22 (25) 27 (29) 29 (30) 32 (32) 34 (34) g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 buttons (Ø = 18 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e: ★ ★ ★ (3 out of 5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57099207770443,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9285\/8699\/files\/IMG-1241.png?v=1776944240","url":"https:\/\/manchesterwoolandyarn.com\/products\/holger-cardigan-petite-knit-patterns","provider":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
