Frequently asked questions
Does total length mean neck to crotch?
No. Total length is neck to foot. A separate neck-to-crotch column helps you check torso length before choosing the size.
Does every size use the same number of buttons?
No. The pattern lists 9, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12 and 13 buttons across the seven sizes. Use the row for your size; button diameter is 12–13 mm.
