We present calculations of the structure of magnetized winds of classical T Tauri stars (TTSs) in an axisymmetric, stationary, polytropic approximation in a given magnetosphere (i.e. we do not selfconsistently take into account the influence of the flow dynamics on the structure of the underlying magnetosphere). According to the widely accepted model of CTTSs the magnetosphere is dominated by a strong stellar magnetic field (B* ≃ 1 kG) which may be of dipolar type. The behaviour of the magnetic flux-tube function yields valuable constraints on the wind solutions.
