{"product_id":"moby-slipover-mini-copy","title":"LOUISIANA SWEATER JUNIOR","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Louisiana Sweater Junior is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. The ribbing at the neck edge is folded and knitted together to form the neckline. The sleeves have tight fitting ribbed cuffs. I recommend using the Italian bind-off method on cuffs and hem for a neat, elastic edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you start knitting the sweater, begin by knitting a swatch to determine which needle size will give you the correct gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Louisiana Sweater Junior is designed to have approx. 18 cm [7 inches] of positive ease. The sizes 2-4 (4-6) 6-8 (8-10) 10-12 (12-14) years are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 55 (58) 63 (71) 77 (82) cm [21¾ (22¾) 24¾ (28) 30¼ (32¼) 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 58 cm [22¾ inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 4-6 years. Size 4-6 years has a chest circumference of 76 cm [30 inches] which will, in this example, give 18 cm [7 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes: \u003c\/b\u003e2-4 (4-6) 6-8 (8-10) 10-12 (12-14) years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72 (76) 80 (88) 92 (100) cm [28¼ (30) 31½ (34¾) 36¼ (39¼) inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e42 (46) 48 (50) 53 (55) cm [16½ (18) 19 (19¾) 20¾ (21¾) inches] (incl. folded neck edge)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 sts x 14 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on a 9 mm [US13]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circular needles: 8 mm [US11] \/ 40 and 60 or 80 cm [16 and 24 or 32 inches] and 9 mm [US13] \/ 40, 60 and 80 cm [16, 24 and 32 inches]; \u003cspan\u003eDouble pointed needles: 8 mm [US11] and 9 mm [US13]  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003e250 \u003ca href=\"tel:(300)%20300-350\"\u003e(300) 300-350\u003c\/a\u003e (350) 400 (450) g Børstet Alpakka by Sandnes Garn (50 g = 110 m [120 yds]).
