Size guide
The Frankie Sweater Baby is designed to have approx. 10-12 cm of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 10-12 cm larger in circumference than the chest measurement of the baby. The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the first page of the pattern. Begin by measuring the child you are knitting for, before starting the project, to determine which size will fit them best. For example, if the child measures 48cm around the chest, you should knit a size 6-9 months. A size 6-9 months’ sweater has a chest circumference of 60cm which in the given example would give you 12cm [4¾ inches] of positive ease.
