With a growing little girl, I have been inundated with design inspiration for children’s crochet projects, but I wanted to be able to make my designs available to everyone, not just those with children who happen to be the same size as Little Lovely at the time of designing. As with women’s sizes, I’ve put quite a bit of research into “standard” measurements, which of course began with the Craft Yarn Council‘s recommendations, and I expanded from there. The following chart is what I have so far. I will add to it as necessary.
