Sizes: 4–6 (6–8) 8–10 (10–12) 12–14 years

Yarn requirements

These are approximate quantities.

The sweater we knitted was made using double-stranded Bella by Permin. You will need 1 (2) 2 (2) 2–3 balls of one colour (the stripe colour) and 2 (3) 3 (3) 4 balls of the main colour.

The sweater is worked from the bottom up.

The finished sweater measures 39 (41) 43 (44) 47 cm in length, but you can easily make it longer if desired.

The gauge is 12 stitches = 10 cm on 8 mm needles in stockinette stitch.

You will need

An 8 mm circular needle. The cable length depends on which size you are knitting. It is easiest to have the stitches on a 60 cm circular needle for the two smallest sizes, and a 60 cm or 80–100 cm circular needle for the larger sizes.

A 40 cm, 8 mm circular needle for the sleeves, or double-pointed needles/Magic Loop for the smaller sizes.
