SIZE The sizes XS/S/M/L/XL/2XL/3XL correspond to the chest circumference measured directly on your body: 76–82 / 83–89 / 90–94 / 95–98 / 99–102 / 103–106 / 107–109 cm. DESCRIPTION The sweater is designed with positive ease: approximately 6–8 cm for larger sizes, gradually decreasing for smaller ones. This garment can also be knitted in a men’s version. ADAPTING TO A MEN’S VERSION To adapt the women’s version to a men’s fit, add approximately 10 cm to the bust circumference according to the women’s size chart and increase the sleeve and body length by +5 cm.
