Cardigan Measurement Chart
This is a Cardigan Measurement Chart that is helpful for creating a crochet cardigan for baby 3 months to 24 months.
When deciding to create a crochet cardigan you’ll need to determine the size based on the child’s age or actual measurements. If using measurements as a guide, you’ll need to measure the chest, cross the back (shoulder to shoulder) arm length, and neck to wrist.
You can find a baby cardigan measurement chart below.
1. Chest- For an accurate chest measurement. Measure around the fullest part of the chest Do not draw the tape too tightly.
2. Armhole Depth- Measure from the top outside edge of the shoulder down to the armpit.
