Knitted Jumpers for Girls, 2 to 8 Years
These jumpers are cut for girls aged 2 to 8, through nursery and the early school years. A jumper is a pullover knit, so it goes on over the head and sits over a T-shirt, blouse or long-sleeved top. At this age knits come off and on all day, at snack time, on the climbing frame and in the car, so an easy fit over the shoulders helps. Pair one with leggings, a pinafore or jeans.
Measure her height and pick the nearest size: a 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm and a 5-year-old 116 cm. If she is between sizes, the larger one leaves room for a second winter. On cold mornings, wear a jumper under her coat and take the coat off indoors. Knits vary in fibre, so follow the care label on each one. For older sizes, see Teens.
Your questions answered
The MINOTI Jumpers collection for girls aged 2 to 8 contains knitted pullovers sized by height, such as 104 cm for a 3-year-old and 122 cm for a 6-year-old.
What size jumper should I buy for a 6-year-old girl?
A 6-year-old usually takes 122 cm. If she is tall for her age, or you want the jumper to last into next winter, go up one to 128 cm. Measuring her height gives the surest match.
How do I wash a child's knitted jumper so it keeps its shape?
Follow the care label first, as settings differ by yarn. Turn the jumper inside out and wash it with similar colours. Then reshape it and dry it flat on a towel, because hanging can stretch the shoulders. A thick knit can take around 24 hours to dry.
