Size guide
The shirt has about 20 cm of allowance, which means that its circumference should be 20 cm larger than your chest circumference. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) are designed to correspond to a chest circumference of 80–85 (85–90) 90–95 (95–100) 100–110 (110–120) 120–130 (130–140) cm. The measurements of the finished shirt are given on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting so that you can choose the right size. Example: if your chest circumference (or the widest part of your upper body) is 92 cm, choose size M. The chest circumference of a size M shirt is 114 cm, which means that in this case there would be 22 cm of allowance.
