Size Guide

The Stockholm Sweater V-Neck is designed to have approximately 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease compared to your bust measurement (i.e., the sweater should be 15 cm [6 inches] larger than your bust circumference). Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches]. Before you begin knitting, measure yourself to ensure you choose the correct size. For example, if your bust measures 90 cm [35½ inches] (or the widest part of your torso), you should choose size S, which has a bust circumference of 105 cm [41¼ inches]. This will give you 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease.

Note that decreases are worked on the body, so the sweater will be approximately 5 cm [2 inches] narrower at the hip than at the bust. If you do not want the sweater to narrow towards the bottom, you can omit the decreases.
