Size guide

Dagmar Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of approx. 24 cm in relation to the bust measurement. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-12) 12-14 years correspond to a bust measurement of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (78) 82 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are stated on the front of the pattern (please note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is observed). If you/the recipient e.g. measures 56 cm around the bust, you should knit size 3-4 years. A sweater in size 3-4 years has an upper width of 80 cm and will in the above example give a positive ease of 24 cm. If the measured bust size deviates from the age guide, you should be aware of adjusting the lengths to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
