Size guide

The Champagne Cardigan has an oversized fit and is designed to have approximately 11 cm [4.5 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is intended to be about 28 cm [11 inches] wider than your bust circumference.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust circumference of:
80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm

Measurements of the finished garment can be found on the first page of the instructions. Before you start, measure your bust circumference (or the widest part of your bust) to choose the correct size.
👉 Example: if your bust circumference is 106 cm [41¾ inches], you should knit size XL. The XL size cardigan has a bust circumference of 134 cm [52¾ inches], which gives you the intended 28 cm [11 inches] of positive ease.
