The Key Cardigan Junior is worked from the top down and its yoke is shaped with raglan increases. The neckline is shaped using short rows. The yoke and the body are worked back and forth on a circular needle, while the sleeves are worked in the round. At the end, plackets are worked along the front edges and along the neck. The cardigan is worked in a two-colored stranded stripe pattern.

Size Guide

The Key Cardigan Junior is designed to have approx. 25 cm [9¾ inches] of positive ease. The sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 years are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 cm. 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 59 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 5-6 years. Size 5-6 years has a chest circumference of 84 cm which will, in this example, give 25 cm 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.
