Size guide
Key Sweater Man should have approximately 10 cm of ease (positive ease) relative to your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured around the body, of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will suit you best. If you, for example, measure 101 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size M. A size M sweater has a width of 112 cm and will give the mentioned example 11 cm of ease (positive ease).
