About the pattern

This pattern is designed with approximately 10 cm of positive ease — the finished sweater will measure 10 cm more than your actual chest circumference. To find your size, measure around the fullest part of your chest and choose the size with a finished circumference 10 cm larger. The pattern includes a chart for the bottom floral section.

For example, if your chest measures around 96 cm, choose the size with a finished circumference of 106 cm (Size 2).
