This pattern is a printed pattern in English.
The Frankie Sweater Junior is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked along the back of the neck to shape the neckline.

The Frankie Sweater Junior is worked with narrow stripes either in multiple colours or in a single contrast colour.
Size guide
The Frankie Sweater Junior is designed to have approx. 20-23 cm [7¾-9 inches] of positive ease. The sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-12) years are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (78) cm [20¾ (21¼) 22 (22½) 23¼ (24½) 25¼ (26¾) 28¼ (30¾) 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 the recipient measures 59 cm [23¼ inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 5-6 years. Size 5-6 years has a chest circumference of 82 cm [32¼ inches] which will, in this example, give 23 cm [9 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.
