SIZE GUIDE
The sweater has a normal fit and is designed to have approximately 6-10 cm [3-4]” of positive ease. However, you can choose to knit it with a smaller or larger positive ease by sizing up or down, as it suits you, and adjust the length of the sleeves and body as needed. To find the right size for you, measure your circumference around the fullest point of your bust. Choose the size matching this measure. Sizes A (B) C (D) E (F) correspond to the following bust circumference 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) cm [31 ½-33 ½ (33 ½-35 ½) 35 ½-37 ½ (37 ½-39 ½) 39 ½-43 ¼ (43 ¼-47 ¼)]”.
For example: if you measure 96 cm [37.5]” around the fullest point of your bust choose size D.
It is highly recommended to knit a swatch and wash it before you begin knitting so you can check your gauge is correct before starting the blouse.
