Isager, Little Kirsten Shirt- neuleohje suomeksi

ABOUT THE DESIGN

Helga Isager writes:My Little Kirsten Shirt is constructed the same way as the adult version, Kirsten Shirt, however, I have chosen to knit it in Isager Soft Fine, making it soft and child friendly. Isager Soft has a meterage of all of 150 m per 25 grams, so the garment is very light and airy. First, the body is worked sideways and shaped with short rows. If one wishes to knit a dress, the garment is easily made longer by casting on more stitches.Stitches are picked up for the yoke, and at the same time a welt ridge is knitted, which hides the cast on edge, making a nice and clean wrong side. The shirt has a front placket and at the neck another welt ridge is made, which is finished with a curled edge.Little Kirsten can be knitted in sizes 2 – 12 years.RECOMMENDED NEEDLES3.5 mm [US4] and 3 mm [US2 1/2]GAUGEIn pattern (stockinette stitch with garter ridges) on a 3 mm [US2 1/2] needle:10 cm [4 inches] = 24 sts10 cm [4 inches] = 34 rowsISAGER LITTLE ARCHIVES
