About the design:

Skipper is knit in the round from the bottom up until the v-neck begins. Thereafter it is knit flat back and forth.
The model is meant to have a slightly close fit, but the pattern is very elastic and can accommodate a wider range of sizes (see measurement for chest).
Children are very different with regard to size even if they are the same age, so always pick a size after the child’s size rather than age.

Sizes 1 (2) 4 (6) 8 (10) 12 yrs.
Chest: Approx. 54-60 (60-66) 65-72 (65-72) 71-78 (76-84) 82-90 cm.
