how to pick a size
For a comfortable fit, this cardigan should be worn with a recommended positive ease of 5cm/2” to 20cm/7.75”. Measure the widest section of your chest with a measuring tape. Add your preferred amount of positive ease and pick the size closest to that number. For example, your chest size is 105cm/41.5". If you prefer less positive ease, pick size 5 for a positive ease of 5cm/2". If you prefer more positive ease, pick size 6 for a positive ease of 20cm/7.75". Schematic measurements are final garment measurements and include the recommended ease.
