The Key Sweater Junior is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked after the neck rib edge to shape the neckline. The body and sleeves are worked in the round and finished with rib edges. The pattern is knitted with a two-colour stripe pattern.
Size Guide
The Key Sweater Junior is designed to have approx. 25 cm [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 years are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 cm [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 the recipient measures 62 cm [24½ inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 6-7 years. Size 6-7 years has a chest circumference of 88 cm [34¾ inches] which will, in this example, give 26 cm [10¼ 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.
