Hi
If it is the actual pattern that you want to copy, you could try getting a ‘Classic’ book for childrens knitting and then applying the pattern to it. Most of the classic patterns are plain knitted garments with each pattern using a different thickness of yarn. The patterns will give an option to have different necklines or sleeve types and will cover a large range of sizes
Another alternative is to use the original pattern but alter it, for example:
If the current pattern moves up by age group, for example ages 2, 4, 6 and your child is 8 years old, then see what the difference is in the number of stitches between each size – most will go up by a very similar amount according to a tension square and how many stitches to an inch/centimeter. You would then only have to adjust the length to fit.

Pam
