Size guide

Key Sweater Man should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 10 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured on your own body, of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are stated on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting, to consider which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 101 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size M. A sweater in size M has an upper width of 112 cm and in the above example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 11 cm.
