Easy Sweater
(English text) Size5-6years Yarn: Araucania Milodon, color #8 Teal Combo or similar (check gauge), about 370 grams Gauge: 5 sts x 8 rows on 1 x 1" US 4 (3.5 mm) 32" and 16" circular needles, and 5 dpn needles 1 stitch marker
ABBREVIATIONS
st (s) = stitch (-es) tog = together k=knit rep\*\*= repeat from \* to\* p=purl BO = bind off M1 = from the back, lift CO = cast on loop between sts with left St st = Stockinette st needle, k into front of loop
RIBBING
On the larger circular needle, CO 128 sts and join, being careful not to twist the sts. Work around in k 2, p 2. Set marker in the beginning of the row. Continue with k 2, p 2 for 2" (5 cm).
BODY
The body is worked in St st. Increase with 24 sts evenly spread on the first row, from 128 to 152 sts. Continue working in the round until the body measures 12" (30 cm) from the beginning of the ribbing. If the body need to be lengthened, this will be the place to add an inch or two. To prepare for the joining of the sleeves, BO the first 5 sts on the next row. K 66 sts, BO 10 sts, k 66 sts and BO the last 5 sts. Brake the yarn and put the body aside.
SLEEVES
With dpn needles, CO 32 sts, 8 sts on each needle. Join, being careful not to twist the sts. Work ribbing in the round like on the body in k 2, p 2, for 2"(5 cm). Set marker in the beginning of the row. This can be a little tricky on dpn's, so set the marker between the first and the second st on the first needle, and just remember that it has been moved one st over from the beginning of the row. Work the continuation of the sleeves in St st, like on the body, as you increase 8 sts evenly on the first row, to 40 sts, 10 sts on each needle. K 5 rows. Increase sleeve sts to a total of 78 sts, in the beginning and end of every 6th row like this: k1, M1, k until 1 st left on the row, M1, k1. The sleeve should at this point measure about 14 - 14.5" (35 - 37 cm). If the sleeve need to be lengthened, this will be the place to add an inch or two. BO the last 5 sts of the row and the first 5 sts on the next row, to a total of 68 sts. Set aside and work the second sleeve.
YOKE
Work the pieces onto the larger circular needle by working across the first 66 sts of the body, k\* 4, p 7\*, rep\*\*. Attach the first sleeve, k2tog, k 3, p 7, rep\*\* until 12 sts left on the sleeve, k4, p 6, p2tog. Rep\*\* across the next 66 sts of the body, and attach the second sleeve the same way as the first. Work 6 rows with k over k and p over p (rep\*\*). Decrease on every seventh row, see page 2.

Work 6 rows. 2nd dec: \*k 4, p 4, p2tog\*, rep\*\*. Work 6 rows. 3rd dec: \*k 4, p2tog, p 3\*, rep\*\*. Work 6 rows. 4th dec: \*k 4, p 2, p2tog\*, rep\*\*.

COLLAR
If you prefere, change to dpn's at this point. Continue working in k 2, p 1 (total of 72 sts), for about 4" (19 cm) or to preferred length, and BO loosely. Fold it over. Weave in all loose ends to the back and block the sweater if necessary. Sew the hole under the sleeves together from the wrong side.
