The Lulu Slipover Junior is worked from the top down. The slipover has a deep armhole and is closed with two buttons along both sides. First, the back is worked and then the front. Ribbing edges are worked along the armholes, and along the sides, which form slits towards the hem, double knitted edges are worked. Two buttonholes are worked along the front part of these double knitted edges. At the end, a ribbing edge is worked along the neck opening.
Size guide
The Lulu Slipover Junior is designed to have approx. 20 cm [7¾ 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 (12-14) years are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (82) cm [20¾ (21¼) 22 (22½) 23¼ (24½) 25¼ (26¾) 28¼ (29½) 30¾ (32¼) inches]. 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 slipover is knitted in the correct gauge). If the recipient measures 57 cm [22½ inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 4-5 years. Size 4-5 years has a chest circumference of 77 cm [30¼ inches] which will, in this example, give 20 cm [7¾ inches] 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.

Petite Knit Lulu Slipover Junior - Knitting Pattern / Kit

Published Thursday, 4 December 20255 out of 5Peer Gynt is just a lovely yarn that I love using over and over again! The color is very pretty too.

Published Thursday, 27 November 20255 out of 5This wool is enjoyable to knit and quality control is excellent - I haven't come across any flaws in the yarn. I have been surprised to find a separate piece of yarn inside several balls of between 75 and 100cm in length, so I am putting them aside for sewing the garment together when the knitting is finished. I would buy this brand of yarn again
