Gorm Sweater Junior is a classic, timeless sweater. It is worked with 2 threads top down with long sleeves. At the body, a pattern with 3 contrasting colours is worked, using the fair isle technique. Ribbings at the body and the sleeves are worked, before they are bound off with the tubular method. The neckline is shaped with short rows (here: German short rows).© knittingforsif- all rights reserved. The pattern and the finished project are for private use only.

Customer Reviews
Mrs. ***********es DVM
Soft, stylish, and surprisingly durable — survived two playground tumbles and still looks brand new. The crewneck sits just right (no gaping!), and the cuffs keep sleeves from riding up. Got it in time for our family picnic — she felt ‘fancy but chill’, which is exactly the vibe we chase. Delivery was smooth, though no contactless option noted at checkout.
Odi*******rata
From first touch to first wear — total win. The yarn feels luxe, not scratchy, and the hem hangs perfectly on his slim frame. He wore it to his piano recital and looked polished without trying. Shipping was lightning-fast (ordered Monday, arrived Wednesday AM), and the team included a handwritten card with a doodle of a sweater. Made us feel seen — and now we’re loyal.
Char*********iller
Cute and comfy — my daughter loves the drape and says it doesn’t itch like other knits. Fit runs slightly generous (she’s size 10, we ordered 10 and it’s roomy enough for layering). Took 6 days to ship, but tracking was accurate. Not quite 'wow' quality, but solid for everyday wear — especially for school photos or weekend errands.
Hos******ell
This sweater is low-key magic. My 10-year-old wears it layered under his winter coat — no bulk, all warmth. The fabric breathes well; he didn’t overheat during indoor recess. And yes — I went back and bought the navy one too (shhh, don’t tell his sister). Arrived in sturdy box, no plastic nonsense. Just pure, thoughtful design.
Mar*******nger
Adorable on my daughter — the heather gray looks so premium, not 'kids' section basic'. Slight stretch at the shoulders makes it easy for her to zip her backpack on herself. Only reason it’s not 5 stars? Took 5 days to arrive (still within estimate), but customer service replied instantly when I asked. Warm, wearable, and worry-free.
Ms. ********rist
My son refused to take it off after soccer practice — said it 'felt like a hug'. Love how the ribbed knit holds shape wash after wash, and the color stayed vibrant even after two spins in the washer. Got it on Tuesday, delivered Thursday morning. No frills, no fuss — just great quality and zero buyer’s remorse.
Ka*****ll
So soft and cozy — my 8-year-old wore it straight to school and got three compliments before lunch! The fit is just right: not boxy, not tight, with sleeves that actually reach her wrists. Shipped super fast (3 days!) and the packaging was cute with a little thank-you note. Felt like shopping with a friend who *gets* kids’ comfort needs.
