The Fjære sweater is a children’s colour work sweater with an easy-to-knit 2-colour design.  It has a straight, relaxed fit with raglan sleeves, a round neck and edging in 1x1 rib.  The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down.  The neckline is shaped by knitting short rows, and increases are made for the raglan on each side of 3 raglan stitches.  For a relaxed fit, choose a size that is 8-15cm larger than the child's chest circumference.
