Size guide
Cardigan No. 5 has a short and relatively tight fit.
The cardigan is worn with approx. 15-20 cm positive ease (measured at your bust).
Please keep in mind that brioche stitch stretches when being worn – it will return to the original size after wash.
If you prefer an oversize fit, go up one size according to your actual size.
