The measurements for the finished sweater can be found on the front page of the pattern (please note that these measurements only apply if the correct gauge is maintained throughout). Measure yourself before beginning your project, to determine which size will fit you the best.

A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 112 cm [44 inches] which in the given example would give you 22 cm [8½ inches] of positive ease.
