How to choose your sweater size
Most knitting patterns are sized by finished measurements, not body measurements. Measure your actual bust, decide how you want the sweater to fit, then choose the pattern size whose finished bust matches your target (body measurement + desired ease).
Common uses
- Determine which pattern size to knit based on fit preference
- Compare finished measurements across sizes before starting
- Decide whether to adjust a size up or down for a specific fit
Always swatch before starting a garment. Gauge affects every finished dimension. When in doubt, knit a larger size and work short-row or seam adjustments rather than a size too small.
