Hegn (child version)

Introducing the child version of Hegn, a beautifully designed sweater that embodies the essence of Danish craftsmanship. "Hegn" translates to "fence" in Danish, symbolizing a cozy and snug barrier against the cold. This delightful sweater, perfect for children, is knitted from the bottom edge to the top, featuring an intricate allover textured pattern and a charming two-color design on the yoke.

Designed with a classic raglan yoke, the Hegn sweater boasts long sleeves and traditional ribbed edges, making it both stylish and comfortable for everyday wear. This knitting pattern is specifically crafted for yarn with a gauge of 18 stitches per 10 centimeters in the textured pattern, equating to a yardage of 90 meters per 50 grams, and is showcased elegantly in Sandnes Peer Gynt yarn.

This versatile knitting pattern accommodates a variety of child sizes, including 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 years, with corresponding chest widths of 73, 78, 84, 91, 98, and 107 centimeters, and lengths of 43, 46, 51, 54, 57, and 61 centimeters. Whether for a chilly day out or a cozy evening in, the Hegn sweater will keep your child warm and fashionable.

The Hegn pattern is tailored for intermediate knitters who possess medium skills. This means you should feel comfortable following both charts and written instructions, making increases and decreases, picking up stitches, and engaging in two-colored stranded knitting in the round. With an engaging design and a level of challenge that encourages skill growth, this project is ideal for those looking to enhance their knitting abilities.

Important to note, the pattern does not include finished items, yarn, or materials; it is purely a guide to create your own stunning sweater/pullover. Expand your knitting repertoire and delight your child with the warmth of the Hegn sweater, a pattern that beautifully combines function, style, and tradition!
