SIZE GUIDE
Cardigan No. 8 has an oversize fit. Calculate a positive ease of approx. 35 cm [13.75 inches] in relation to your body circumference.
Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) are equivalent to the European standard sizes: 34 (36) 38 (40) 42 (44) and suit a body circumference of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) cm [31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.5 (37.5-39.5) 39.5-43.25 (43.25-47.25) inches].
For example: You measure 89 cm [35 inches] at your widest + 35 cm [13.75 inches] = 124 cm [48.75 inches]. Meaning that you would choose a size S with a finished circumference of 125 cm [49.25 inches].
