Size guide

The Fortune Sweater is designed to have approx. 15-25 cm 6-10 inches of positive ease. meaning it is designed to be 15-25 cm 6-10 inches larger in circumference than your bust measurement. Before deciding which size to knit. measure around the widest part of your bust using a measuring tape. Add 15-25 cm 6-10 inches to this measurement (depending on how loosely or tightly you prefer your Fortune Sweater to fit). and then select the size that comes closest to this number. Example: You measure yourself to be 95 cm 37inches around the bust. Adding 15-25 cm 6-10 inches to this number gives you 110-120 cm 43-47inches (95 cm 37inches chest circumference + 15-25 cm 6-10 inches positive ease = 110-120 cm 43-47inches). Size M with a bust circumference of 114 cm 45 inches fits right in the middle of this interval.
