How to choose your size
Dakota is a straight-cut, round-neck button-up cardigan made from a nylon-wool blend.
- Compare the chart with a similar cardigan you own and like the fit of, using the same measurement method and units. Compare half-width measurements with half-width measurements, not body circumferences.
- Check the chest, shoulder and bottom-sweep measurements together. The hem is narrower than the chest, so do not choose by chest measurement alone.
- Allow room for the top you plan to wear underneath, and check that the cardigan can button comfortably without pulling or gaping.
- Check the armhole, bicep, sleeve length and overall length for comfortable movement and your preferred proportions.
- As this style runs small, consider the next size up if you are between sizes or prefer more layering room, after comparing all measurements.
The chart describes the garment, not the body size it will fit. Allow room for movement and your preferred fit; this guide does not assume a particular amount of knit stretch.
Please allow a 1–3 cm measurement discrepancy.
