Size guide
For a slightly oversized fit, a positive ease of approximately 15-20 cm [5 ⅞-7 ⅞ inches] larger than your chest measurement is recommended.
For a more oversized fit, a positive ease of 35-45 cm [13 ¾-17 ¾ inches] larger than your chest measurement is recommended.
Measure yourself around your chest or at the widest point of your torso, and add the desired amount of positive ease to determine which size to knit.
