Tips for the Best Measuring Results

These tips will ensure your measurements are taken professionally.

1. Measure yourself over underwear only – both measuring over clothing and naked will distort the results. If you usually wear a bra, leave it on, but choose a soft one. Avoid thick, padded bras that enlarge the bust and change its shape too much. Go for natural, but lifted.
2. Keep the measuring tape snug, but not tight – the tape should touch your body, but not squeeze it. It shouldn’t fall once you wrap it around. When measuring your chest, wrap the tape around and take a big breath. Let it expand, then tighten it slightly and write down the measurement.
3. Keep the arm slightly bent when measuring the arm length – if you measure a straightened arm, the sleeves may end up too short.
4. Get help – to get the best results, we should stand straight and relaxed, with arms down. Ask someone else to measure you (or at least the back).
5. Update your measurements regularly – our bodies change, and so do our measurements. Make sure which size you are before starting a new project.

Measuring Points

These measurements will help you design most crochet garments.

1. Chest/Bust – Measure around the fullest part of the chest, but ensure the tape isn’t too tight.
2. Center Back Neck-to-Wrist – Straighten the arm and measure from the back base of the neck, across the shoulder, to the wrist.
3. Back Waist Length – Measure from the most prominent bone at the base of the neck to the natural waistline.
4. Cross Back – From shoulder to shoulder.
5. Arm Length – Measure from armpit to wrist with a slightly bent arm.
6. Upper Arm – Measure around the widest section of the upper arm above the elbow.
7. Armhole Depth – From the top of the shoulder down to the armpit.
8. Waist – Measure around your waist at the smallest circumference, usually just above the belly button.
9. Hips – Measure around the widest part of your lower hip.
