Size guide
The Anker’s Sweater – My Boyfriend’s Size is designed to have approx. 6-13 cm [2¼-5¼ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 6-13 cm [2¼-5¼ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) cm [33¾-35¾ (35¾-37¾) 37¾-39¾ (39¾-42¼) 42¼-44½ (44½-46¾) 46¾-48¾ (48¾-52) inches].
The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure the recipient of the sweater to determine which size to knit. For example, if the recipient measures 103 cm [40½ inches] around his chest (or around the widest part of his upper body) you should knit a size L. A size L sweater has a bust circumference of 114 cm [145 inches] which in the given example would give you 11 cm [4¼ inches] of positive ease.
