Sizes & Finished Measurements

This pattern is designed for sizes S / M / L / XL.

However, the gauge information and the included schematic make it possible to adjust the fit individually.

To help you choose the right size, you'll find the finished measurements of the knitted top below. 

The top is designed with a relaxed, lightly draped fit and can be worn either close to the body or with additional ease, depending on the size you choose.

If you are between two sizes, it is generally recommended to choose the larger size for a more relaxed fit, or the smaller size for a closer fit.

The model shown in the photos is wearing size S and is approximately 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) tall.
