**SIZING:** Available in sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL), this cardigan is intended to be worn with a small amount of positive ease around the bust for optimal comfort and style. Finished bust measurements approximately range from 31.5 (35.5, 39.5, 43.5, 47.25, 51.2, 55)” / 80 (90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140) cm. The cardigan is designed to fit bust sizes of 30 (34, 38, 42, 46, 50, 54)” / 75 (85, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135) cm. The sample shown is size S, worn on a bust measuring approximately 34” / 85 cm, resulting in around 2 to 5 cm of positive ease—a perfect balance for drape and fit.
**GAUGE:** Achieve a gauge of 24 stitches and 30 rows = 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette stitch, and 32 stitches and 30 rows = 4” / 10 cm in the cable pattern.
