Help with pattern sizing?

Categorized As:

So, I'm preparing to attempt to design a garment for the first time... It's going to be a shrug, and I've figured out how determine how big it should be made based on bust and shoulder measurements. However, I'd like to provide instructions for three different sizes: Small, medium, and large. Does anyone know what the typical bust and shoulder measurements for those sizes are? Any general guidelines would be quite helpful. Thanks!

I've heard they are out there, but I'm not sure where. I think Google could guide you.

There's info at YarnStandards.com.

Check out Interweave Crochet and the Crochet Me book!

Thanks! I love the Yarn Standards site--SO helpful! I found everything I thought needed to know, plus a lot of things I needed to know and just didn't realize it. ;)
