Lilly & Liam sweater

See the fabric requirements chart among the pictures.

Fabric for the sweater: Knit fabric such as jersey, with good stretch and recovery. You can also use fabrics such as college or french terry which are heavier, but you should then consider sizing up, since these fabrics usually have less stretch.

Fabric for the cuffs and neckband: Jersey or ribb, (or any of the above listed). Keep in mind that the pattern pieces for the waistband, long sleeves, cuffs and neckband are made for jersey (cotton/lycra). If you use ribbing instead, you will need to make the cuffs shorter (see Sewing Instructions).

See the size guide among the pictures.

Lilly & Liam has a relaxed fit without becoming too wide. The sweater has 6,5 cm (2 5/8”) positive ease which means that the chest width on the finished garment is 6,5 cm (2 5/8”) larger than the body measurement for that size.

In the size guide you can see which size is recommended based on the child’s chest width. This is based on jersey fabric (cotton/lycra). If you’re sewing with heavier fabrics such as college or french terry, you should consider sizing up.
