Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7)

Recommended ease: 25 to 45cm | 9.8 to 17.7in of positive ease at the bust.

Choosing the right size: this top is designed to be worn with a lot of positive ease and I recommend knitting your usual size and not sizing down. Smaller sizes have a smaller armscye so they might not fit as well. If you are not sure what size you should knit, consider using the shoulder to shoulder measure as reference and select a size that gives you at least 15cm | 5.9in of ease at the shoulder.
