I knit the size 6 (gauge was spot on) for a small 5-yo and found the pattern as knit to be small. It fits fine over a trim shirt, but he can’t wear it over a heavy shirt. The size 6 would be too small for a 6 year old.

Gauge on #5 23 st/4” unblocked, 22 st/4” washed and gently blocked. Boom.

Modifications:

• Picked up 5 sts underarms and no dec, worked 48
• used US4 for ribbing
• Not a fan of kfb increases over stockinette, used m1r/m1l
