Little Inge Sweater

Description

fOTOS, design and knitting instructions © Le Knit

Little Inge Sweater ist die Kinderversion von Inge Sweater. Das Muster hat klare Bezüge zur Designsprache der 60er und 70er Jahre – aber auch zu noch früheren Stricktraditionen. Dank der Farben und des Garns, mit dem Du ihn strickst, kannst Du dem Little Inge-Pullover ganz einfach Deine eigene Note verleihen. Wähle Jensen-Garn, genau wie für den Inge Sweater, oder stricke ihn mit Merilin+Alpaca1 als Pullover in Naturweiss und Braun.

Konstruktion
The Little Inge Sweater is worked from top to bottom. First, the collar is made and then shortened rows are made on both shoulders. After the neck cut, shortened rows are knitted again on both sides of the front, while at the same time raglan increases are made. After that, knitting is done in rounds in the pattern with raglan increases before the pass is divided into body and sleeve and all parts are completed separately. This means that the pattern is only worked in Hin-R.

Sizes

Brustumfang: (69) 74 (80) 86 (91) 97 cm

Größenwahl
Choose the size at which the breast circumference best fits the child. The length of the body and sleeves can be easily adjusted as the sweater is knitted from above. I would recommend that you estimate the length if you knit a pattern smaller than recommended in the manual.
* The length is measured centrally on the back, excl. the neck lining.
