I want every Dot & Lizzi baby knit to feel as beautiful as it looks. Choosing the right size ensures your little one stays comfortable, free to move, and perfectly dressed in timeless style. My sizing guide is here to help you select the ideal fit - whether you're shopping for a newborn gift, your own baby’s wardrobe, or a keepsake to treasure. Every garment is designed with a gentle, seamless fit and room to grow, so babies can wear their knits longer, and with joy.

If you have any questions regarding sizing, please get in touch through my contact page and I would be happy to help. If you are looking for a size that is not available or a bespoke size, please get in touch, most things are possible.

Choosing the Right Size: My Tips

When in doubt, size up. Babies grow quickly, and a slightly roomier knit will last longer and still look beautiful.

Consider the season. Think about when the baby will wear the item. For example, a 3–6 month cardigan purchased in summer may need to fit in autumn.

Check the fit features. My knitwear has a naturally stretchy texture and a comfortable fit, with no side seams to restrict movement.

Newborn gifts? My 0–3 month size is ideal for first outfits, while 3–6 months offers a little more growing room for lasting wear.

Still unsure? Feel free to contact me - I'm happy to help with personalised advice.

All Dot & Lizzi knitwear is handmade and naturally flexible. Knit pieces may stretch gently with wear and washing. I design my garments to provide a flattering fit while giving your little one freedom to grow and move.
