Frequently asked questions
Which ages does Sille Mini cover?
The seven sizes run from 6–12 months to 6–7 years. Junior is a separate pattern for older children.
Why is a textured swatch important?
The knit-and-purl fabric needs to match 20 stitches and 32 rows over 10 cm. A stocking-stitch swatch alone does not establish this pattern’s gauge.
