Size guide: Savannah Cardigan should have a room for movement (positive ease) of approx. 10-15 cm in relation to your chest measurement. The cardigan has a tight rib at the bottom that sits close to the body, and therefore a little extra length can be calculated with advantage if you would like to have the cardigan's patent piece on the body to bag easily.
