This sweater is designed for an oversized, cropped fit. We recommend you choose the size 6-8” larger than your actual bust measurement. You can also keep knitting and make the body longer if you choose!

NOTE
This sweater is knit in the round from the top down. Also, the yarn we used – Sequoia from Baah Yarns, is referred to by Baah as a Super Bulky, but but we feel it works up more like a bulky yarn.
