This knitting pattern is in English.
The pattern was developed in collaboration with the Red Cross. 20 DKK is donated to the Red Cross for each sale.
The Cross Sweater Junior is worked from the top down. A band of crosses is worked on the yoke and along the bottom of the sleeves and the body. First, the top part of the back yoke is worked back and forth, then each shoulder is worked back and forth on a circular needle. Both shoulders are then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked down from stitches that are picked up and knitted around the armholes. At the end, a folded neck edge is worked with stripes from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neckline.
