SIZE GUIDE
Anna’s Summer Cardigan is designed to have approx. 7 cm [2¾ inches] of positive ease. The sizes 3-6 months (6-9 months) 9-12 months (1-2 years) 2-3 years (3-4 years) 4-5 years (5-6 years) 6-7 years (7-8 years) 8-9 years (9-10 years) 10-12 years are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 45 (47) 49 (53) 54 (56) 57 (59) 62 (64) 68 (72) 77 cm [17¾ (18½) 19¼ (20¾) 21¼ (22) 22½ (23¼) 24½ (25¼) 26¾ (28¼) 30¼ inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are listed on the front page of the pattern (please note that these measurements are only achieved if the cardigan is knitted in the correct gauge). If you/the recipient measures 59 cm [23¼ inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 5-6 years. Size 5-6 years has a chest circumference of 66 cm [26 inches] which will, in this example, give 7 cm [2¾ inches] of positive ease. If the measured chest circumference deviates from the age guide, you can adjust the lengths to the person you’re knitting for. The same applies if the child is short/taller than average.
