SIZE GUIDE
The Celeste Sweater Junior is designed to have approx. 15-19 cm [6-7½ inches] of positive ease. The sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-12) 12-14 years are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (78) 82 cm [20¾ (21¼) 22 (22½) 23¼ (24½) 25¼ (26¾) 28¼ (30¾) 32¼ 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 sweater is knitted in the correct gauge). If the recipient measures 56 cm [22 inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 3-4 years. Size 3-4 years has a chest circumference of 73 cm [28¾ inches] which will, in this example, give 17 cm [6¾ 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.
