When choosing what size to knit, keep in mind that the measurements given are those for the finished garment. Start by using a tape measure to find out your own bust circumference. Then compare your bust circumference to the ones given above. The sweater is intended to be worn with approximately 0-5cm positive ease. Depending on if you choose a size with a spot-on measurement, it will result in a sweater with snug fit or if you choose a size that’s a few cm wider, it will result in a looser fit. At this point it’s the only measurement you need to compare as you will be customizing the body and sleeves lengths for your sweater later on.
