Sizing:

Sizing follows the Craft Yarn Council’s standards for Women’s sizes.

This sweater has a classic fit, with 4-6” (10.2-15.2 cm) of positive ease. If you are between sizes, size up if you want a looser-fit sweater, or size down if you want a more fitted sweater.

Measure the bust of the wearer, and choose the size that is closest to the wearer's bust measurement, under the title, “To Fit Bust”.

Instructions and yarn requirements for size X-Small are given outside the parentheses, with Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X, 3X, 4X, and 5X given inside the parentheses, like this:

X-Small (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X).

When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes.
