Size Guide

Cardigan No. 9 has an oversized fit. Allow for approximately 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) of positive ease for sizes XS-XL and approximately 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) for sizes 2XL-4XL. This ease is designed to provide the most flattering fit for each size.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) correspond to a bust circumference of approx.:
80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) cm
31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.5 (37.5-39.5) 39.5-43.25 (43.25-47.25) 47.25-51.25 (51.25-55.25) inches

Example: if your widest point measures 88 cm (34.75 in) + 20-25 cm (7.75-9.75 in) = 108-113 cm (42.5-44.5 in). You should therefore knit size S, which has a finished bust circumference of 109 cm (42.75 in).
