The Cold Snap cardigan has a relaxed fit. Choose a size with at least 10cm/4inlarger than your chest measurement to go over lighter tops or with a minimum 15cm/6in larger than your chest measurement to wear as a coat alternative over jumpers. The cardigan has no fastening and can be worn open, so you may find it better to choose based on cross back measurement (from armpit to armpit and on the upper arm measurement – remembering to add ease into these for a comfortable fit over clothing.
