The round yoke looks really nice on children, as their shoulders aren´t that broad yet. We haven´t tried this decrease method before, and have learned a few things along the road. First of all, we planned for this cardigan to fit a newly born, but it ended up fitting Nils, 1 1/2. It´s a pretty long cardigan, which makes this jacket fit for a long time; we estimate it to be suitable from about 6-8 months to 1 1/2 years.
