Fishy Goose Barn KNITTING PATTERN AND YARN

Knitting kit with yarn and free digital knitting pattern.
Cute and unique sweater in our Fishy series. The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. At the armhole, the work is divided into front and back pieces, which are finished separately and then seamed or knitted together at the shoulders. The sleeves are knitted from the top down by picking up stitches around the armhole.

The pattern is based on the original in Hip Wool, but adapted for BonBon brushed alpaca. The garment will be lighter, softer, and fluffier, and will have slightly more stretch than in Hip Wool.

The Fishy sweater is available for children, women, and men. Feel free to play with the pattern by knitting parts of the chart in a different color or «the wrong way – against the current.» The sweater is also nice in a solid color, with one fish placed on the chest (embroidered with a chain stitch at the end), or with different colors on the fish (for example, one row in each color).

FIT

Ease (positive ease) is approximately +25-35 cm from the chest/upper body measurement for a loose fit. If the child measures, for example, 48 cm around the chest, size 6 years will fit best (ease of 27 cm). Choose the size based on the upper body measurement and adjust the length of the sleeves and the body to fit the child. You can also measure the upper body of a sweater the child already has and likes, and choose the size that is most similar to its upper body measurement. The sweater on the girl pictured has an ease of 35 cm.

Note – correct measurements require that stitch gauge is observed.

In addition to knitting needles, you will need a darning needle, scissors, and a measuring tape.
