How many stitches to start a 1-year-old's sweater?

Depending on needle size and yarn thickness, a typical 1-year-old sweater starts with about 60–70 stitches.
More detail:
- Fine baby yarn: 70–75 stitches
- Medium baby yarn: 60–65 stitches
- Thick yarn: 50–55 stitches
Most reliable method: Knit a small 10x10 cm swatch with your yarn and needles, measure it, then calculate how many stitches you need based on your baby's chest (usually 48–52 cm at age 1). This swatch trick ensures a perfect fit.
