Please choose a size 14-24 cm/ 5.5-9.5 in larger than your actual chest circumference. For the best results, please view the table and schematic to review the measurements at other body points. With greater discrepancies in upper chest and full chest measurements, I recommend going with the upper chest measurement. The sample in the photos is size 2 with 22 cm/ 8.75 in positive ease.

You can choose from 9 unisex size-inclusive sizes, with finished chest circumferences of:

95, 106, 116 (127, 138, 145) (155, 166, 176) cm | 37.5, 41.75, 45.75 (50, 54.25, 57) (61, 65.25, 69.25) in

A schematic with comprehensive measurements is included in the knitting pattern.

The provided meterages/ yardages (yds approx. due to rounding) already include a safety margin. However, please note that your individual yarn consumption may vary based on your yarn, gauge, size, and the desired sleeve/body length. It is advisable to get a little more than you think you’ll need.

The meterages listed for each colour separately are higher because I have added a larger safety margin for using multiple colours as opposed to just one. The reason for this is that you may use more or less of each colour depending on their order in the project.
