  5. Body and sleeves are completed

Sizes & Finished Measurements (after blocking)
4-6” (10-15 cm) of positive ease at the fullest bust is recommended. Sweater will fit comfortably, like a sweatshirt. If you prefer a more fitted sweater, size down to approx. 2” (5 cm) positive ease.
Choose your size by measuring your fullest bust, then add the desired positive ease to that measurement and choose the size closest to this.
Sweater is shown in Size 4 on a 39” (99 cm) bust.

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4) 5, 6, 7, 8 (9, 10, 11)
