About the design:

This pattern gives instructions for two designs, both of which are simple, pretty, and easy to knit.
The designs are worked from the top down and are identical on the first part of the yoke, whereafter the pattern of the two differs.

Finished measurements:

Sizes: Newborn (1) 3 (6) 9 (12) 18 (24) 36 mths.
Chest: Approx. 44 (46) 50 (52) 56 (62) 64 (66) 69 cm.
Body length under sleeve: Approx. 15 (16.5) 18.5 (20) 22 (23) 25 (26) 27 cm.

Children and especially babies come in many sizes, so choose the size after the chilld’s measurements rather than age. Size newborn has been constructed with a 3500 g baby in mind. If you expect a bigger child, it is recommended to knit a 1 or 3 month size.
