SIZE GUIDE

The Link Sweater is designed to have around 20 - 30 cm 8 - 12 inch of positive ease however you can choose your desired amount of positive ease. Sizes 1, 3, and 5 have ribbing down the sides of the body to accommodate multiple sizes and sizes 2, 4, and 6 have a continuation of the cable pattern. In addition, the sleeve circumferences will be slightly different so make sure to take a look at the measurement chart below when determining your size. To calculate your size, measure your bust circumference, add the desired positive ease and use the table to find the body circumference that best matches your value. (The full table is found in the pictures, but I’ve listed the bust circumferences below)
