GUIDE FOR MEASUREMENTS
The sweater should have positive ease of 35-40 cm at the bust. Size XS (S) M (L) XL will fit bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 cm. Measure yourself, before you start knitting, to get the correct size. If your bust circumference or the widest circumference on your body, for example, is 90 cm, then you should choose size M. Note! When you knit the sweater, pay attention that the yarn will stretch in the lace pattern, and therefore will be longer after wash and wear. The pattern therefore only gives an indication for number of lace patterns in all sizes.
