Size guide

The Hanstholm Sweater Junior is designed to have approx. 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease. The sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5 år) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-10) 10-12 (12-14) years are designed to fit a chest circumference of 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (72) 78 (82) cm [20¾ (21¼) 22 (22½) 23¼ (24½) 25¼ (28¼) 30¾ (32¼) inches]. The measurements for the finished sweater are listed on the front page of the pattern. Please note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is maintained throughout. 

If you/the recipient measures 56 cm [22 inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 3-4 years. A size 3-4 years sweater has a chest circumference of 71 cm [28 inches] which in the given example would give you 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease. If the measured chest circumference deviates from the age guide, you can adjust the lengths to the person you’re knitting for. The same applies if the child is short/taller than average.
