The Chantal Top has a regular fit and is designed to have approx. 5 cm 2 in of positive ease. This means the garment’s measurements will be approx. 5 cm 2 in larger than your actual bust circumference. 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 31½-33½ / 33½-35½ / 35½-37½ / 37½-39½ / 39½-43¼ / 43¼-47¼ / 47¼-51 ¼ in.
Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the right size. For example, if your bust circumference is 92 cm 36½ in, you should knit a size M. If you are between sizes, choose the size based on how loose you prefer the top to fit. Using the diagram with the finished garment measurements can be a helpful reference when deciding which size to select.
