Body measurements: Craft Yarn Council standard size charts (Woman XS–5X, Baby, Child), midpoint of each range. Our assumptions: garment length = back waist length + 15 cm (adult), 7.5 cm (child) or 5 cm (baby) + your adjustment; ease is scaled by chest ÷ 94 cm in children's sizes; straight sleeve = upper arm + proportional ease, length = arm to underarm − shoulder drop; yarn = calibrated model of our yarn calculator + 10 % margin. CYC lists the 5X upper arm as 18½ in (49.5 cm); the cm value is used.
