Wash and block a swatch before measuring. Match both stitch and row gauge and check the fabric; adjust needle size as needed. Round up to complete sale units and allow extra for swatching or changes in length.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Baby length include the neck edge?
Yes. The designer lists the baby length including the neck edge; do not compare it directly with a measurement that excludes ribbing.
Can I use the adult slipover’s yarn combination?
Use the Baby specification. It has a finer 29-stitch texture gauge and names single-strand Tynn Peer Gynt or Sunday, rather than the adult combination with mohair.
