Sweet Monkey Baby Sizing Guide

Please remember that sizing varies greatly from person to person and will vary a bit from piece to piece.   Measurements will be given on in-stock items so please go by those for accuracy.  To determine whether a particular size will fit your child:

• please knit a swatch to test for correct gauge

• go by measurements rather than size suggestions given

• do not measure your child.  (Sounds funny, right?) Measure a garment that fits your child well, preferably one that has successfully been worn over a cloth diaper if the item is to be used as a cover.  Compare it to the measurements that I have provided for you in each product description.

General sizing:

All of my measurements are taken with the garment lying flat, front down according to the picture below. For girls’ bubbles and for boys' rompers we measure the back length to crotch from the shoulder point of the neckline (top of the fabric) to the crotch (bottom of the fabric) and they are approximately:

size	chest*	waist	hip**	shoulder-crotch
NB/0-3 months	13 1/2	12	18	13 1/2
3-6 months	15 1/4	14	20	14 1/2
6-12 months	16 3/4	16	21 1/2	16
12-18 months	18 1/2	18	22 1/2	17 1/2
18-24 months	20 1/4	20	24	18 1/2
2T	22	21	24 3/4	20

* Ian Polo Romper has a loose fit from chest through the hips, so measurements are more like those for hips.
** Molly Bubble Romper pattern obtains measurements a bit larger through the hip to create the “bubble” effect.
