SIZES

This sweater is designed to fit with 1-4” (2.5-10cm) of positive ease at the chest.
NOTE: The colorwork for this sweater is worked at the base of the body, above the hem. In the smaller sizes, the colorwork covers most of the body of the sweater. As the sizes increase, the motif becomes more of a skeleton hem border. Samples shown in sizes 0-6mos and 8-10yrs.
