As always, it is important to figure out the correct size. The measurements tell you the size of the sweater itself. The length on both sleeves and body is easy to adapt to your size. Since the sweater is knitted top down it is easy to try on as you go. I recommend that you add some yarn if you prefer the sleeves or the body to be a bit longer. It is very important to do a gauge swatch before you start. Go up a size in needle if you knit tight and down a size if you knit loose. It is so very disappointing to knit a sweater which turns out to be too big or too small.<\/p>\n

The idea of the original Sunshine sweater came to me on a cold day in autumn when I wanted to knit a sweater that reminded me of spring and summer. The result reminds me of warming beams from the sun.<\/p>\n Sunshine sweater junior is knitted top down, starting with the neckline being knitted in the round. Then the yoke is worked with even increases so the stitches increase at the same time as the beams are created by slipping stitches between the needles.<\/p>\n See more information below.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1570,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[25,26,41],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1571","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-born","product_cat-peysur","product_cat-solskinsflikur","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"\n
