Shape and size selection

Chunky Dahlia cardigan is short and slightly loose in shape. The jacket is knitted from the top down, so it is easy to adjust the length. Measure yourself around the chest (or the largest measurement of your upper body) when choosing a size. If you want an oversized fit, as in the pictures, choose the size where the width of the piece is 10-12 cm larger than your measurement. This means that you should calculate a positive ease of movement of 10-12 cm. If you want a more classic shape, choose a size smaller. This means that you should calculate a positive ease of movement of 4-8 cm.
