**MEASUREMENTS:** The Jil Sweater offers a generous bust circumference of 106 (110) 118 (127) 132 (138) 147 cm [41.7 (43.3) 46.5 (50) 52 (54.3) 57.9 inches], ensuring comfort and style for a range of body types.

**KNITTING DENSITY:** Achieve the perfect fabric with our recommended knitting density. Using 3.5 mm [US 4] needles and after blocking, you can expect a density of 18.5 stitches x 54 rows (equivalent to 27 knit stitches in brioche stitch) = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches]. For best results, adhere to this gauge to ensure your finished Jil Sweater matches the intended fit and appearance.

**SIZE GUIDE:** The Jil Sweater is designed with a relaxed fit, offering approximately 10-15 cm [4-6 inches] of positive ease. This thoughtful design choice means the sweater is intended to be about 10-15 cm [4-6 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement, providing ultimate comfort while maintaining its fashionable shape.
