Amélie Tee Junior - Knitting PatternDesigned by PetiteKnitThis pattern is a printed pattern in English.The Amélie Tee Junior is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch and with stripes. The first part of the yoke is worked flat, back and forth, to shape the neckline. Then the work is joined in the round, so the rest of the yoke can be worked in the round and shaped with raglan increases on the circular needle. Along the neck stitches are picked up and knitted and a stockinette stitch edge is worked.Size guideThe Amélie Tee Junior is designed to have approx. 9 cm [3½ 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 (12-13) 13-14 years are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (80) 82 cm [20¾ (21¼) 22 (22¾) 23½ (24¼) 25 (26¾) 28¼ (29¾) 30½ (31½) 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 tee is knitted in the correct gauge). If you/the recipient measures 62 cm [24¼ inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 6-7 years. Size 6-7 years has a chest circumference of 71 cm [28 inches] which will, in this example, give 9 cm [3½ 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.Sizes: 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-13) 13-14 yearsBust circumference: 61 (64) 66 (67) 70 (71) 74 (79) 81 (84) 86 (87) 89 cm [24 (25¼) 26 (26½) 27½ (28) 29¼ (31) 32 (33) 33¾ (34¼) 35 inches]Length: 34 (35) 36 (38) 40 (43) 45 (46) 47 (48) 49 (50) 51 cm [13½ (13¾) 14¼ (15) 15¾ (17) 17¾ (18) 18½ (19) 19¼ (19¾) 20 inches] measured mid back excl. neck edgeGauge:28 sts x 38 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on a 3 mm [US2½]Needles: Circular needles: 3 mm [US2½] / 60 and 80 cm [24 and 32 inches] and 2.5 mm [US1½] / 40 and 80 cm [16 and 32 inches]; Double-pointed needles: 3 mm [US2½] and 2.5 mm [US1½]Materials: Color 1: 50 (50) 50 (100) 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 g Merino by Knitting for Olive (50 g = 250 m [273 yds]) or Sunday by Sandnes Garn (50 g = 235 m [257 yds])Color 2: 50 (50) 50 (100) 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 g Merino by Knitting for Olive (50 g = 250 m [273 yds]) or Sunday by Sandnes Garn (50 g = 235 m [257 yds])Optional: 50 g of color 3 for each size.Difficulty: ★ ★ ★ (3 out of 5)
