Size guide

Key Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 25 cm in the smallest sizes but gradually less in the largest sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a chest measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 86 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size XS. A sweater in size XS has a width of 111 cm and in the example mentioned will provide a positive ease of movement of 25 cm.
