I love this pattern but need to make a size 8; can you give me any advice about enlarging it? Thanks so much!!

According to size charts an 8 is about 27 inches. That's too much larger than this one for me to wrap my mind around it.
I have made this pattern in the small size and it is beautiful!
I am trying the pattern in large and seem to be stuck on row 27.
There are 80 stitches left from 136 stitches.
When I count in the round there are only 57 stitches.
It says Kl, *P2, K2. 4 times. That is 16, right?
There seems to be 57 stitches to work on. What do I do with the other 23 stitches?
Thank you for your help.

What is the size for this? I don't see it any where in the pattern. I would love to make it in a child's 6 - can anyone help? Thank you!

It's cute and would like to try it, but I think I must be overlooking something. What size is this? What age of a baby is it for?
Thanks
Carol
Thanks

Since children come in differing sizes only chest measurement is stated. You will need to compare that to the measurement of the child to know if it will fit.
I SEE IT'S FOR A TODDLER AND IS MARKED SIZE LARGE,DID YOU WRITE A PATTERN FOR A BABY 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR. DO YOU HAVE A PATTERN FOR SIZE SM OR MED? I'M FAIRLY NEW AT KNITTING AND AS YOU CAN SEE NOT THE BEST AT THE COMPUTER.I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. THANK YOU A HAVE A NICE DAY.

There are three Jerkin patterns. They are all under the Kid's Stuff heading. The measurements for each is listed in the pattern. You will need to compare those measurements to the child to know what size to knit.
