Pattern available in English.

SELENE JUNIOR is a children's pattern and part of my SELENE collection.

I love knitting with multiple colours, and right from the start, I wanted to create a pattern with Nordic inspirations and a distinct style. I also wanted to offer knitters a project that is both challenging and comforting, one that they want to pick up again and again because it is so enjoyable to knit.

SELENE JUNIOR is knitted with blow yarn, a light, soft, and warm yarn. It is very pleasant to work with, and in my experience, children particularly appreciate sweaters made with this type of yarn.

Needles

• Double-pointed needles 4 mm and 4.5 mm
• Circular needles 4 mm, 4.5 mm, and 5 mm, with cables 40 cm, 60 cm, and 80 cm
• Optional: a straight needle 4 mm for the Italian Cast On

Note:
I use needles 0.5 to 1 mm larger when knitting the jacquard pattern to maintain the same gauge as in plain stockinette stitch.

Since each knitter has a different tension when working with multiple colours, it is highly recommended to knit a swatch before starting the sweater.
