    Standard Size Charts

     

    While everyone's shape and size is different, the Craft Yarn Council of America (CYCA) has defined a set of standardized measurements, which can be used a general guide in designing knitted items. The numbers listed below coincide with CYCA standards.

    How to Measure:

    Chest/Bust:

    Measure snuggly around the fullest part of the chest/bust.

    ​

    Center of Neck to Cuff:

    With arm barely bent, measure from the back base of the neck to across the shoulder, around bend of elbow to wrist.

    ​

    Back Waist Length:

    Measure from the most prominent bone
    at base of neck to the natural waistline.

    ​

    Crossback:

    Measure from shoulder to shoulder.

    ​

    ​Sleeve Length:

    With arm barely bent, measure from armpit to cuff.

    ​

    Upper Arm:

    Measure around widest section of upper arm above the elbow.

    ​

    Armhole Depth:

    Measure from top outside edge of shoulder down to the armpit.

    ​

    Waist:

    Measure the waist at the smallest circumference of natural waist (usually just above the belly button)

    ​Hip:

    Measure widest part of hip.

    ​

    Head:

    Place tape across forehead and measure the full head circumference, keeping tape tight.

    ​

    Foot Circumference:
