It is perfectly fine to knit with our soft and pill-free Heavy Merino from Knitting for Olive instead.
Celeste Sweater Junior is knitted from the top down with a round yoke. First, the neckline is knitted, and then the yoke is knitted in the round with colorwork using 5 different colors according to the chart. Short rows are knitted after the yoke’s colorwork to raise the back and thereby create a good fit. The body and sleeves are knitted in the round in stockinette stitch, and both are finished with a ribbed edge.
Be aware that colorwork is often knitted on needles 0.5-1 mm larger than those used for solid stockinette. Therefore, make a gauge swatch in both colorwork and solid stockinette before you start knitting.
Size guide
Celeste Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of about 15-19 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 (10-12) 12-14 years correspond to a chest measurement of approximately 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (78) 82 cm. The finished garment measurements are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). For example, if the child measures 56 cm around the chest, you should knit size 3-4 years. A sweater in size 3-4 years has a chest circumference of 73 cm and will in this example provide a positive ease of 17 cm. If the measured chest size deviates from the age guide, you should pay attention to adjusting the length to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter or taller than average.
