SIZING
This sweater can be knit in size XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL). This sweater was designed to have a slightly loose, comfortable fit. If you want a slightly more fitted sweater you should knit a size smaller than you usually would. To figure out the best size for you consult the Craft Yarn Council woman size charts. http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/womansize.html

These are the measurements of the finished garment. Your sweater will have two inches of positive ease if knit at the correct gauge.

XS- 32 inch bust
S- 36 inch bust
M- 40 inch bust
L- 44 inch bust
XL- 48 inch bust
XXL- 52 inch bust
