The Frankie Sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked along the back of the neck to shape the neckline. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle. The Frankie Sweater is worked with narrow stripes.
Size guide
The Frankie Sweater is designed to have approx. 20 cm [7¾ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 20 cm [7¾ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95 100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished sweater can be found on the front page of the pattern (please note that these measurements only apply if the correct gauge is maintained throughout). Measure yourself before beginning your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 112 cm [44 inches] which in the given example would give you 22 cm [8½ inches] of positive ease.

Petite Knit Frankie Sweater - Knitting Pattern / Kit

Published Saturday, 20 June 20265 out of 5Very wooly wool!! Smells like wool and is probably going to be a little itchy, but so so warm! Very lovely to knit with, will definitely use again for future projects!

Published Friday, 22 May 20264 out of 5I bought the “kit” for the PetiteKnit Zipper sweater light using Peer Gynt. I was delighted with the service from the Ribbon Rose and the quality of the yarn and pattern, first rate. However, I was disappointed that the appropriate zipper was not included in the kit.

Published Thursday, 19 March 20265 out of 5The wool was given to me by my daughter as a birthday gift - it is fabulous to work with & when I sent for more, your company was excellent - order was sent & arrived within 4 days great service.

Published Thursday, 5 March 20265 out of 5This is a new yarn to me - it was the colour which originally drew me to it, and I was a bit skeptical as I like to use merino for garments. The yarn is surprisingly soft, with great construction which will ensure stitch and pattern definition. The colour is gorgeous, so I am really anticipating knitting with it and wearing the finished garment.
