Super Bulky Size Guide + Finished Measurements
The pattern is written in 8 sizes, 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) with a finished circumference of 42 (46, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, 70) in/105 (115, 125, 135, 145, 155, 165, 175) cm.  It is intended to have 2-8 in/5-20 cm of positive ease. You can measure the circumference around your arms and bust together to determine the appropriate size.
