The Little Tourist is a tunic length, comfy, roomy, poncho. The sleeves allow for ease of movement. Available in the following 9 sizes:

Age - Child Chest Size (in) - Garment Waist Circ (in) - Length (in)
3mo - 16 - 23.5 - 12
6mo - 17 - 25 - 13.5
12mo - 18 - 25.5 - 14
18mo - 19 - 27 - 15
2yr - 21 - 28 - 15.5
4yr - 23 - 30 - 16.5
6yr - 25 - 31 - 17.5
8yr - 26.5 - 34 - 19.5
10yr - 28 - 36 - 21

The “waist” is the circumference around the body, just below the sleeve separation. The poncho has a generous positive ease. The recommended length should be a tunic length (6” down from child’s waist), but can easily be adjusted to your preference.

Note that in the pattern there are only three buttonholes on the placket. My testers indicated that the fourth wasn’t necessary, so I took it out!
