Size Guide

The Weekend Sweater should have approximately 30 cm of positive ease for smaller sizes and gradually less positive ease for larger sizes. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a body bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the front page. First, measure yourself before you begin knitting to determine the size that best suits you. If your bust circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 90 cm, you should choose size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 120 cm and would, in this case, have 30 cm of positive ease.
