Choosing a Size
The nature of drop shoulder sweaters is to be a looser fitting sweater than I generally design. Because of this, and because ease preferences range greatly amongst makers, each size will fit a wide range of people.
Step 1: Choose a Chest Size A that is 15-20.5 cm / 6-8 inches larger than your upper torso measurement.
Step 2: Ensure that Chest Size B is a minimum of 1 inch larger than your actual full chest/bust size.
Step 3: Hem size should be a minimum of 4 inches larger than your largest hip measurement.
