Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Mini Chunky size table for this cardigan?
Use the Mini Mohair table: it starts at 6–9 months and uses a finer 21-stitch gauge, with different chest measurements.
When does Mini Mohair need seven buttons?
The 3–4, 4–5 and 5–6 year sizes use seven buttons. The four smaller sizes use six; diameter is 13–15 mm.
