Anker’s Sweater is a timeless and minimalistic pattern 

  • Easy and beginner-friendly pattern

  • Quick to finish

  • The Norwegian wool yarn used in the pattern, Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt, resists pilling and becomes softer with wear.

  • You don’t need to stare at the pattern constantly—you can even knit while watching TV

  • Seamlessly knitted from the top down

  • The ribbing pattern on the yoke makes the knitting more interesting than plain stockinette and also gives the shirt a beautifully fitting shape

Anker’s Sweater is designed to have approx.. 10-15 cm [4-6 inches] of positive ease. The sizes 0-3 months (3-6 months) 6-9 months (9-12 months) 1-2 years (2-3 years) 3-4 years (4-5 years) 5-6 years (6-7 years) 7-8 years (8-9 years) 9-10 years (10-12 years) are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 42 (45) 47 (49) 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (77) cm [16½ (17¾) 18½ (19¼) 20¾ (21¼) 22 (22½) 23¼ (24½) 25¼ (26¾) 28¼ (30¼) 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 sweater is knitted in the correct gauge). If you/the recipient measures 56 cm [22 inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 3-4 years. Size 3-4 years has a chest circumference of 70 cm [27½ inches] which will, in this example, give 14 cm [5½ 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: 0-3 months (3-6 months) 6-9 months (9-12 months) 1-2 years (2-3 years) 3-4 years (4-5 years) 5-6 years (6-7 years) 7-8 years (8-9 years) 9-10 years (10-12 years)

Bust circumference: 51 (53) 58 (63) 67 (70) 70 (74) 78 (80) 80 (84) 90 (92) cm [20 (20¾) 22¾ (24¾) 26½ (27½) 27½ (29¼) 30¾ (31½) 31½ (33) 35½ (36¼) inches]

Anker’s Sweater can be knitted with 100% norwegian wool Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt or if you are looking for softer but a little bit more expensive yarn with 100% merinowool Sandnes Garn Double Sunday.

Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt (50 g = 91 m [100 yds]) or Sandnes Garn Double Sunday (50 g = 108 m [118 yds]):

  • 0-3 months – 6-9 months = 4 balls
  • 9-12 months – 1-2 years = 5 balls
  • 2-3 years – 3-4 years = 6 balls
  • 4-5 years – 5-6 years = 7 balls
  • 6-7 years – 7-8 years = 8 balls
  • 8-9 years – 9-10 years = 9 balls
  • 10-12 years = 10 balls

Anker’s Sweater is worked from the top down. The yoke is worked in sections of rib with increases in the round, followed by classic raglan increases when the stockinette stitch section begins. The sleeves are worked at the end, either on double-pointed needles or on circular needles using the Magic Loop technique. Anker’s Sweater has no finishing other than weaving in ends.
