PetiteKnit No Frills SWEATER Pattern. This pattern is a paper copy in Finnish.
No Frills Sweater is designed to have approx. 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 15 cm [6 inches] larger in circumference than your chest measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed to fit a chest circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements are only achieved if the sweater is knitted in the correct gauge). Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 93 cm [36½ inches] around your bust (or around your belly if this is the widest place on your body) you should knit a size M. A size M sweater has a chest circumference of 108 cm [42½ inches] which in the given example would give you 11 cm [6 inches] of positive ease.
