SIZE GUIDE
Sweater No. 12 is designed to have a positive ease of approx. 6 cm [2.5 inches].
Measure yourself before you start to ensure choosing the right size for you.
The sizes suit bust measurements of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) cm. [31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.5 (37.5-39.5) 39.5-43.5 (43.5-47.25) inches]
For example: Your bust circumference is 89 cm [35 inches] + 6 cm [2.5 inches] = 95 cm [37.5 inches]. Meaning you would choose a size S.
If your measurements are between sizes, choose the smaller size.
SUGGESTED NEEDLES
4 mm [US6] circular needles (40 and 80 or 100 cm [16 and 32 or 40 inches])
Possibly 4 mm [US6] double pointed needles
