Size guide
The Holger Cardigan should have approximately 20–25 cm of positive ease in relation to the chest circumference. Sizes 1–2 (2–3) 3–4 (4–5) 5–6 (6–7) 7–8 (8–9) 9–10 (10–11) 11–12 (12–14) years correspond to a body chest circumference of 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (82) cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan can be found on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is correct). If you or the recipient has a chest circumference of 62 cm, for example, you should choose size 6–7 years. A size 6–7 years cardigan has a chest circumference of 86 cm and would therefore have 24 cm of positive ease in this case. If the measured chest circumference differs from the recommended age range, you should adjust the length to suit the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is smaller or larger than average.
