Sizes:
XS / S / M / L / XL
The Marvin sweater has a relaxed, slightly crop fit and is designed to have approx. 10-15cm 4-6 in of positive ease. This means the garment’s measurements will be approx. 10-15cm 4-6 in larger than your actual bust circumference.

The sizes XS / S / M / L / XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 / 85-90 / 90-95 / 95-100 / 100-110 cm 31½-33½ / 33½-35½ / 35½-37½ / 37½-39½ / 39½-43¼ in. Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the correct size. For example, if your bust circumference is 90cm 35½ in, you should knit a size 2 (M). If you are between sizes, choose the size based on how loose you prefer the garment to fit. Using the chart with the finished garment measurements can be a helpful reference when deciding which size to select.
