Chibi Chibi is the miniature version of Chibi! This kiddo version is written such that you can work either short or long sleeves, the length is worked to be full length (instead of cropped like the adult version), and no short row shaping for the back (b/c we don’t need to be worrying about which side is front and back when we’re trying to get kiddos to put their sweaters on!).

This is for the kids version only.

Gauge

Gauge for Chart C listed first, as it is easier to measure gauge from (no increases in chart).

22sts x 32 rounds = 4” x 4” 10cm x 10cm in Chart C on larger needles, blocked.

22sts x 26 rounds = 4” x 4” 10cm x 10cm in Chart A or B on larger needles, blocked.

Note: Some people find their gauge changes drastically with colorwork. If you find this to be true, you may need to go up or down a needle size to compensate. In displayed sample, the same needle used was used throughout and while the stitch gauge remained the same, the row gauge changed significantly in the colorwork section.
