Note:

A garment worked in garter stitch needs to be constructed to embrace the way garter stitches react. The garter stitches may grow in length when the garment is worn. 

Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL)

Because of the deep raglan sleeves, the finished measurement for your size is at the waist level after body and sleeves are divided. Measure your waist and choose the size that gives you the wanted ease.

I recommend between 10-20cm/4-8” ease.

The finished measurement of the cardigan at body circumference (at waist): 

90 (94.5, 101, 108, 118, 124.5) cm/35.5 (37, 39.75, 42.5, 46.5, 49)”
