How to Pick the Right Crochet Pattern Size ?

The crochet pattern charts will help when determining which pattern size is correct. Take your measurements, or those for whom the sweater will be made, and choose the size in the pattern you're making that corresponds the best. Don't worry if your numbers don't match the pattern exactly a half inch or an inch here and there won't make a huge difference, but if in doubt, go to the next larger size. Decide how much ease you'd like in the sweater, then pick the size that comes closest to that measurement. If you can't take measurements of the person for whom the sweater is being made, the charts in this section should help you determine which size should fit best.

If you're wondering where the chart is for skirt sizes, I'm sorry to say you won't find one. In the crochet world, skirt sizes haven't been standardized because the fit depends on whether the skirt is meant to hang from your hips or your waist. The Craft Yarn Council, the group that works on standardizing measurements, hasn't provided a chart for skirt sizing yet.

Even though this article doesn't include patterns for babies, children, or men, the size charts for these folks are still useful to have. You never know when you'll need to crochet a garment for someone in this group.

The last thing to keep in mind is that patterns are far from standardized. The measurements in the crochet charts have been in use for many years, and are pretty accurate, but always check each pattern individually, and don't assume the measurements given will match the numbers.
