Otto Sweater Junior - PetiteKnit

We have chosen to knit with the soft, pill-free, and durable Heavy Merino from Knitting for Olive.

The Otto Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of about 20-25 cm relative to the chest 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 chest measurement of approximately 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (76) 80 cm. The finished sweater measurements are indicated on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). For example, if you/the recipient measures 62 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 6-7 years. A sweater in size 6-7 years has a chest width of 87 cm and will in this example provide a positive ease of 25 cm. If the measured chest size deviates from the age guide, you should be careful to adjust the measurements to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average. A measurement chart is available here.
