1 3-year-old baby's sweater should be measured before knitting, leaving a suitable length and width. Because the baby grows fast at this stage and the sweater will shrink after washing, it is impossible to knit the sweater too small.
Because the number of stitches varies with the thickness of wool and needles, it is suggested to knit a section from 20 stitches, measure the width with a ruler, then measure the baby's chest circumference or baby's clothes, and calculate the number of stitches according to the measured size. (Because the baby grows fast, it is slightly enlarged according to the actual size.) For example, if the width of a knitting section is 9 cm and the baby's bust is 72 cm, then it is necessary to sew 160 stitches (72 cm divided by 9 cm multiplied by 20 stitches).
