ACCOMMODATION SIZES ARE ESTIMATES BASED ON AVERAGE HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE OF AGE RANGE PROVIDED
Measurements of babies vary widely even when in same age group; size estimates are ‘estimates’ only, and my age labels are based on general averages/estimates of babies measurements, along with fittings of particular baby garments. Baby garments also vary widely in measurements even when labeled as “newborn”, “12 month”, etc. Use the size mannequin for your particular garment’s measurements that work best for you.
Patterns are worked in the round. The mannequin head is created in two parts: the head and a bottom section which is sewn on with yarn after stuffed.
YOUR PERSONAL GAUGE WILL AFFECT SIZE: CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
The type/weight of Yarn or Cord used will also affect gauge
