Size guide
Key Sweater Junior should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 25 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 (10-11) 11-12 years correspond to a bust measurement of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is maintained). For example, if the child measures 62 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 6-7 years. A sweater in size 6-7 years has an upper width of 88 cm and will in the example given give a positive ease of movement of 26 cm. If the measured bust size deviates from the age guide, you should pay attention to adapting the length to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
