Sizing Info

XS (S, M, L, XL)(2X, 3X, 4X, 5X) to fit bust sizes 28-30 (32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46) (48-50, 52-54, 56-58, 60-62)“ based on the CYC sizing standards. Since these are just sizing guidelines, there are instructions within the pattern to help you create a sweater that will suit your exact measurements ie. help on where to work additional (or fewer) rounds to customize the sleeve length, body length, etc.

This sweater is intended to be worn with 2-7” of positive ease. When choosing a size, choose a garment bust size that is anywhere from 2-7” larger than your actual bust measurement, depending on how much positive ease you would like in your sweater. If you’d prefer a more fitted sweater, you can size down.

For reference, model has 34” bust and is wearing a size small with a garment bust measurement of 39.5” worn with 5.5” of positive ease.
