Istid (child version)

Introducing the child-friendly version of the Istid sweater, a delightful knitting pattern that captures the beauty of cozy winter wear.

Inspired by the Danish word for ‘ice age,’ Istid is perfect for those chilly days. The Sejsing sweater features a charming all-over ribbed pattern, knitted from the bottom edge up. With its classic raglan yoke design and long sleeves finished with traditional rib edges, this pullover combines style and comfort effortlessly.

This pattern is specifically crafted for yarn with a gauge of 12 stitches per 10 centimeters, achieving a lovely ribbed texture. This translates to a yardage of approximately 100 meters per 50 grams of yarn. The size 10 years sample is beautifully showcased in Naturuld from Hjertegarn, setting a standard for quality and warmth.

The Istid pattern provides detailed instructions for creating sweaters in sizes 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 years, accommodating a range of growing children. The chest width measurements are 68 (73, 78, 83, 88, 95) centimeters, with a finished length of 42 (45, 48, 51, 55, 59) centimeters. This makes it easy to tailor the fit for any child, ensuring they stay cozy and stylish.

This knitting pattern is designed for intermediate knitters, who are comfortable following detailed written instructions, working both knit and purl stitches, as well as picking up stitches and executing increases and decreases. Whether you're a seasoned pro or looking to challenge your skills, this pattern will guide you every step of the way.

Materials needed for this project include quality yarn, appropriate knitting needles, and stitch markers to keep your work organized. Please note that the pattern does not include finished items or yarn, allowing you to choose your favorite colors and textures to make the Istid sweater uniquely yours.
