Choosing the size to knit:
This sweater has optional bust shaping. The three options correspond to a B, D, and F cup. To determine which size to knit, you will want to take your full bust measurement and your “high bust” measurement (this is the circumference of your body at the armhole). If you’ve never done these measurements before, this blog post may be helpful:
https://paprikapatterns.com/when-do-you-need-a-full-bust-...
If “full bust measurement - high bust measurement” is
less than 5 cm/2 inches, follow the B cup instructions.
between 5 cm/2 inches and 10 cm/4 inches, follow the D cup instructions.
between 10 cm/4 inches and 15 cm/6 inches, follow the F cup instructions.
For those following the D and F cup options, you will add extra stitches for the front in the front raglans and work a vertical dart in the body to remove those additional stitches.
If the sizing/cup options are confusing, feel free to email me at the email in the pattern for guidance on selecting a size.
