Christmas Round Neck Sweater — How to Measure

For the most accurate sizing, compare these measurements with a similar sweater you already own. Lay the garment flat on a table without stretching it.

1. Chest/Bust width: Measure straight across from underarm to underarm. Double this number for circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam straight across the back. If there’s no defined shoulder seam (dropped/raglan), skip this and rely on chest and sleeve.
3. Sleeve length: From the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For raglan sleeves, measure from the neck seam to the cuff.
4. Back length: From the highest point of the shoulder (where the neck seam meets the body) straight down to the bottom hem.
5. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem (relaxed). Double for circumference.

Body measuring (optional): Measure your chest at the fullest point and add ease depending on desired fit: about 8–12 cm (3–5 in) for regular, 14–20 cm (6–8 in) for relaxed/oversized. Knitwear can vary by ±1–2 cm due to stretch.

Materials — What to Expect in a Festive Knit

The exact fiber blend can vary by batch and design. Check the product label or composition listed on this page if available. Here’s a quick guide to common sweater materials and how they feel and wear:

• Cotton: Soft, breathable, easy care, less itch. Moderate warmth. Good for indoor wear and layering.
• Wool (incl. Merino, Lambswool): Warm, breathable, naturally odor-resistant. Needs gentle care; can pill over time. Merino is typically softer and less itchy.
• Cashmere: Very soft and light yet warm. Delicate; may pill early but improves with proper care.
• Alpaca: Silky feel, excellent warmth-to-weight, often less prickle than standard wool.
• Acrylic: Light, colorfast, budget-friendly, easy care. Less breathable than natural fibers; may pill sooner.
• Polyester/Polyamide (Nylon): Adds strength, shape retention, and durability; helps intarsia/jacquard motifs keep crisp edges.
• Elastane/Spandex: A small percentage for stretch and recovery in ribbed cuffs, hem, and neckline.
• Metallic fibers/Lurex and embellishments: Add festive sparkle and texture. Handle gently; wash in a mesh bag and inside out.
• Recycled fibers: Eco-minded alternatives that can mirror the feel of their conventional counterparts while reducing impact.

Model & Fit Notes

• Cut: Classic round (crew) neckline, long sleeves, ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem.
• Fit: Typically a regular, easy silhouette. Choose your usual size for a standard fit; size up for a relaxed/oversized look.
• Length: Designed to hit around the hip on most heights; knit stretch offers natural ease in movement.
• Model information: Not provided in this listing. Use the measurement guide above to compare with a sweater you own for best results.

Quick sizing tip: Your chest circumference + 8–12 cm (3–5 in) ease ≈ a comfortable regular-fit sweater chest.

Care Guide — Keep It Lovely Longer

• Before washing: Turn inside out; close any zippers/snaps on layered pieces; place in a mesh laundry bag if the sweater has metallic yarns, embroidery, or embellishments.
• Washing:
  • Wool/Cashmere/Alpaca: Hand wash cold or use a gentle wool cycle with a wool detergent. Avoid enzyme-heavy detergents and fabric softeners.
  • Cotton/Acrylic/Poly blends: Cold gentle cycle with mild detergent. Wash with similar colors.
• Drying: Do not wring. Roll in a towel to remove excess water, then lay flat to dry and reshape. Avoid tumble drying and direct heat (radiators/sun).
• Ironing/Steaming: Use low heat or steam lightly. Avoid direct contact with metallic yarns or printed motifs; use a pressing cloth.
• Pilling: Remove gently with a sweater comb or fabric shaver. Do not pull pills by hand.
• Storage: Fold (do not hang) to prevent stretching. Store clean and dry; use cedar or lavender to discourage moths. For seasonal storage, place in a breathable bag.

Style Tips

• Everyday festive: Pair with dark denim and leather or suede boots. Add a neutral beanie or scarf to balance a bold motif.
• Smart-casual: Layer over a crisp collared shirt with chinos or tailored trousers. Finish with loafers or Chelsea boots.
• Cozy at home: Wear with soft joggers or leggings and chunky socks. Add a longline cardigan or fleece-lined vest for extra warmth.
• Skirt combo: Try a midi skirt with tights and ankle boots. A half-tuck at the front defines the waist without losing the relaxed vibe.
• Layering: A thin base layer (cotton or merino tee) adds warmth and reduces itch. Top with a wool coat or puffer for outdoor events.
• Color coordination: Pick one tone from the sweater’s pattern (e.g., red, green, cream) and echo it in your accessories for a polished look.
• Fit play: True to size for classic, size up one for slouchy/oversized, or size down for a neat, trim silhouette (if the chest still allows comfortable ease).
