Selection of size
When choosing the size, you take measure of your chest circumference (or the widest part of your upper body). Choose the size at which the breast circumference of the cardigan is about 9-12 cm larger than your breast circumference. This means that the range of movement (positive ease) is approximately 9-12 cm. If you want a narrower cut, choose a smaller range of motion of 5- 8 cm.
