Size Guide

The Frankie Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of approx. 20-23 cm (7.75-9 inches) in relation to the chest circumference. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-12) years correspond to a chest circumference of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (78) cm (20.75 (21.25) 22 (22.5) 23.25 (24.5) 25.25 (26.75) 28.25 (30.75) inches). The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the first page (please note that these measurements are only valid if the stated gauge is met). If your child has a chest circumference of 59 cm (23.25 inches), you should choose size 5-6 years. A sweater in size 5-6 years has a chest circumference of 82 cm (32.25 inches) and would therefore have a positive ease of 23 cm (9 inches). If the measured chest circumference deviates from the age indication, you should adjust the length to the person for whom it is being knitted. The same applies if the child is smaller/taller than average. Measurement charts can be found here.
