Glynne Kid Sweater by Melissa Leapman
What is Being Made
The Glynne is a child's pullover sweater from the Aspen Collection by Juniper Moon Farm, designed by Melissa Leapman. This garment is sized for children ages 2 through 8, with finished chest measurements ranging from 25½ inches to 33½ inches and lengths from 14½ inches to 17½ inches. The sweater features a classic crew neckline and is constructed as a seamed, bottom-up garment worked in two contrasting colors.
Techniques Used
The Glynne sweater is worked flat on straight needles, meaning the front, back, and sleeves are knitted as separate flat pieces rather than in the round. The garment is constructed using the bottom-up method, where knitting begins at the lower edge of the back and front panels, then progresses upward to the armholes and shoulders. Individual pieces are later seamed together to create the finished sweater. The design incorporates horizontal stripes created through color changes between yarn colors A (Mulberry) and B (Cerulean), adding visual interest to the finished piece.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch pattern throughout the Glynne sweater is Half Linen Stitch, a textured stitch that creates a dense, fabric-like appearance. The sweater begins with a 1x1 Ribbed edge at the lower hem, which provides elasticity and helps the sweater sit neatly against the body. The ribbed cuff is worked in the smaller needle size before transitioning to the larger needles and Half Linen Stitch for the body. Shaping is accomplished through strategic bind-offs at the armholes and shoulders, and decreases at the back neck opening to create proper garment fit.
Materials and Tools
The Glynne sweater is knitted in Juniper Moon Farm Bluefaced Leicester yarn, a premium wool fiber known for its softness and luster. Two colors are used throughout the design: Color 08 Mulberry and Color 10 Cerulean, with 2 x 100g balls of each color required regardless of the child's size. Knitting is worked on two sizes of needles: Size US 6 (4mm) needles for the ribbed edges and Size US 7 (4.5mm) needles for the main body. The recommended gauge is 18 stitches and 30 rows over 4 inches in Half Linen Stitch when blocked, ensuring proper fit and drape of the finished garment.
