Skipper sweater Eng. PDF – PixenDk

About the design:

SKIPPER is knit in the round from the bottom up until the v-neck begins. Thereafter it is knit flat back and forth.

The model is meant to have a slightly close fit, but the pattern is very elastic and can accommodate a wider range of sizes (see measurement for chest).

Children are very different with regard to size even if they are the same age, so always pick a size after the child’s size rather than age.

The pattern will be available to you as a PDF download after payment, and you will also get a link in the order confirmation sent to your e-mail. You can ONLY open the file 5 times. Remember to SAVE the file when you have opened it.
