Last year I made the Álafoss sweater for my husband, and in the end I had plenty of yarn left over.
So I made a sweater for our daughter Eleonore!

The size is about 122/128 cl (Swedish sizes), and the internet says that it should be suitable for kids 7-8 year old.
My daughter is now 5 years old and it fits her perfectly. When I made the sweater and took the photo she was 4 years old. However, she is taller than her friends and clothes for a typical 5-year-old is way too small for her.

So CHECK THE SIZE BEFORE YOU START! I don’t want anyone to end up with a sweater that is too small!
