We have chosen to knit with soft and traceable merino from Knitting for Olive,

The Amélie Tee Junior is knitted from the top down in stockinette stitch with stripes. First, it is knitted back and forth on the needle to shape the neckline, and then the work is joined so that the rest of the yoke is knitted in the round on circular needles with raglan increases. Stitches are picked up along the neckline and a stockinette edge is knitted.

Size guide

The Amélie Tee Junior should have a positive ease of about 9 cm in relation to the chest measurement. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-13) 13-14 years correspond to a chest measurement of approximately 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (80) 82 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). For example, if you/the recipient measures 62 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 6-7 years. A sweater in size 6-7 years has a chest width of 71 cm and will in this example provide a positive ease of 9 cm. If the measured chest measurement deviates from the age guide, you should be careful to adjust the length to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/longer than average.
