📏 SIZES

XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL according to the chart
(Sizes XS/S/M/L/XL/2XL/3XL correspond to the bust circumference measured directly on your body:
76–82 / 83–89 / 90–94 / 95–98 / 99–102 / 103–106 / 107–109 cm.)

The sweater is designed with positive ease:
approximately 6–8 cm for larger sizes, gradually decreasing for smaller ones.

To adapt the women’s version to a men’s fit, add ≈ 10 cm to the bust circumference from the women’s size chart and increase the sleeve and body length by +7 cm.

For example, if the women’s size M has a bust circumference of 90–94 cm, then for men it will be approximately 100–104 cm — determine your size according to the chart and choose it for knitting.
