Size guide

All sizes are in centimetres. Crochet stretches, but a good measurement still gives the best fit.

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure, or a piece of string and a ruler. Measure over thin clothing or bare skin, keep the tape snug but not tight, and ask a friend to help if you can.

  • Head: wrap the tape around your head just above your eyebrows and ears, over the widest part at the back. Read the number where the tape meets.
  • Bust: wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level across your back.
  • Waist: wrap the tape around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button.
  • Length: for a top, measure from the point where your neck meets your shoulder down to where you want it to end.

If you are between two sizes, size up for a loose, slouchy fit and size down for a snug one.

Beanies and hats

Beanie sizes by head circumference in centimetres
SizeHead circumference (cm)
XS48 to 50
S51 to 53
M54 to 56
L57 to 59

Beanies stretch a little, so the finished piece is made slightly smaller than your head. Slouchy styles need extra length, not extra width, so the head measurement is what matters. A product page may list its own fit; if it does, follow that.

Tops

Top sizes by bust and finished length in centimetres
SizeBust (cm)Finished length (cm)
XS78 to 8232 to 36
S83 to 8733 to 37
M88 to 9234 to 38
L93 to 9735 to 39

Finished length varies with the style: a crop top is shorter than a halter with a scalloped hem. Ties and straps can be adjusted. Check the measurements on the product page for that piece.
