This knitting pattern is in English.
The Ida Tee Junior is worked from the top down in a pattern of texture and contrast colored stripes. The first part of the yoke is worked flat, back and forth, while the neckline is being shaped. After this, the work is joined in the round, so the rest of the yoke can be worked in the round on the circular needle with raglan increases. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the neckline and a neck edge in rib is worked.
Size guide
The Ida Tee Junior is designed to have approx. 9 cm [3½ 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 bust circumference of 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 tee is knitted in the correct gauge). If you/the recipient measures 62 cm [24½ inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 6-7 years. Size 6-7 years has a chest circumference of 71 cm [28 inches] which will, in this example, give 9 cm [3½ 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. Schematics can be found here.
