    • Hi Jessica, why is it taking you so long to answer people's questions. This pattern doesn't make any sense and you are saying it's for beginners.

  • I’m in Australia and trying to work out your needle size - are you patterns metric, US mm or UK mm ?
    When you say 4mm is that American or metric as 4mm metric is equivalent to 6mm US
    I really want to start knitting this fro my grandson so I hope you will respond quickly
    Thank you

  • Hi, I'm currently knitting the child's jumper but as a beginner am confused by the following instruction:

    Cast off 2+2+1 stitches in every row at both sides of the neck.

    Does this mean cast off 5 stitches?

    • I can't get a reply either.. do you think it means cast off three in the next row on either side and then 2 in the following row - which equals 10 stitches. That adds upBut why not just say this??

    • Cast off 2 on that row then on the next row cast of 2 then one on next row 2 then 2 on the next row then 1 then 1 on the last row. I cast off on the next row as you cant cast off on the end of a row. I think my sleeves have turned out ok

  • when you say cast off "When the sleeve measures 20 cm, cast off 1+3+2 stitches at both sides 2+2+11 times for the armhole." what do you actually mean - i can't understand this....help.
    I really want to knit this for my grandson and i am a beginner.
    Thank you

    • I really need the 2+2+1 explained. I am not a beginner and I have never seen instructions written that way. I would really want to knit that sweater asap. Thanks in advance.

  • I really love this little sweater. Can you let me know how many stitches need to be cast on for the other sizes and would you say that size 6 is for a four year old. Plus could you explain the cast off 2+2+1 as mentioned by other people. Thank you
