Size guide

Anker’s Cardigan – My Size is designed to have approx. 3-6 cm of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 3-6 cm  larger in circumference than your widest upper body part measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust (or widest upper body part) to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 94 cm around your bust (or around your belly if this is the widest place on your body), you should knit a size M.
