Ensure fit and size are right

A knitted or crocheted sweater for a child should naturally fit the child well, which means both the size and fit need to be correct.

Achieving the right fit involves being mindful of your knitting or crochet gauge, ensuring it matches the pattern. This is especially important if you opt to use a different yarn than recommended in the pattern. In short, using the original yarn from Mayflower can make things easier for you.

Once you have the fit sorted, getting the right size is relatively straightforward. The patterns are adjusted to fit different age groups, making it easy to select a size. However, remember it's generally a good idea to choose a size with some room for the child to grow, as a knitted child sweater can quickly become too small.

Choose high-quality yarn

It's impossible to convince a child to wear a sweater if they find it scratchy. There's nothing worse than wearing a knitted sweater that doesn't feel comfortable against the skin, especially considering children typically have more sensitive skin than adults.

To avoid the issue of a scratchy knitted child sweater, it's crucial to select the right yarn. Wool yarn is notorious for potentially being scratchy, but that's only the case with poor-quality yarn. Mayflower's wool yarn is made from 100% pure new wool, which doesn't itch. Moreover, this quality of wool yarn can also be machine-washed and even tumble-dried.
