The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Note: These measurements only apply if the stick strength is maintained. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If you e.g. measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S.
