Inspiration

Knitting allows you to create garments in three dimensions. We can take advantage of this quality to create textures that give life and movement to our creations to wrap our little ones in their daily lives and also encourage their creativity. The skirt, bow, arms and legs of the ballerina come to life to become almost a doll embedded in her sweater.

Sizes

2 (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) years old. As every little one is different you can be guided not only by the years, but also by the measurements of the bust width which is 34 (36, 39, 41, 44, 46, 49, 51) cm/ 13.5 (14.5, 15.5, 16.5, 17.5, 18.5, 19.5, 20.5)“.
