PRISME SWEATER JUNIOR - P R I S M E is a classic Nordic pattern with an elegant and graphic expression. Due to the repetitions of the prism, the geometric shape creates the illusion of a reflective prism. The P R I S M E series also includes knitting patterns for an adult sweater, a vest, a shawl and a scarf.

Size guide
Prisme Sweater Junior is designed to be worn with a positive ease of 6-8 cm. This means that the sweater can be worn under a raincoat or vest or can be used as an indoor sweater.
Take measurements of the child’s body’s widest part and add 6-8 cm of positive ease. Better slightly larger than too small. For example: If the child’s chest circumference measures 67 cm, you should choose size 8 years. With the correct gauge, the sweater will have 7 cm of positive ease. Sleeve length and total length are just recommendations for the different sizes.
Take measurements and adjust the sweater, if necessary, so that it fits perfectly.
