Sizing:
Do you like a loose fit or a snug fit? This sweater was designed to include 4” of positive ease (which means you measure the fullest part of your bust, add 4” then pick the size closest to that.) If you have an in between size, it’s best to go up, unless you’re a loose knitter, then go down. If you prefer a snugger fit, choose a size that is 2” larger than your bust size. Also, if you plan on blocking your sweater, make sure to keep in mind the minimal stretching that occurs during blocking when choosing your size.
