Yarn package for the Holger Cardigan Kids by PetiteKnit.

This jacket celebrates cheerful stripes and really puts you in a good mood. Quick and easy to knit, it always fits and is super comfortable, leaving plenty of room for playing and romping.

You knit your Holger Cardigan Kids seamlessly from top to bottom with the enchantingly beautiful Double Sunday from Sandnes yarn. This means it fits beautifully and is soft and stretchy.

Children love stripes and especially the colorful ones!

size guide

The Holger Cardigan should have a positive ease of approx. 20-25 cm in relation to the chest circumference. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-14) years fit a chest circumference of 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (82) cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan can be found on the front of the instructions (note that these measurements only apply if the stitch sample is adhered to). If you/the recipient has a chest circumference of 62 cm, for example, you should choose size 6-7 years. A cardigan in size. 6-7 years has a chest measurement of 86 cm and in this case would have a range of motion (positive ease) of 24 cm. If the measured chest measurement deviates from the age recommendation, you should adjust the length to suit the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is smaller/larger than average.
