SIZE GUIDE
You should choose the size based on the sweater’s chest circumference. The length of the body and sleeves can be adjusted to your preference. I recommend a positive ease of 10-20 cm 4-8”, meaning that the sweater’s measurements should be 10-20 cm 4-8” larger than your own. The model in the blue sweater (version 1) has a positive ease of 10 cm 4” and is wearing size 1. The model in the beige sweater (version 2) has a positive ease of 20 cm 8” and is wearing size 2.
