It depends on what you like and your yarn. Style is that sweaters are more fitted than a decade ago. Acrylic yarn will stretch if ou do not wash and dry on warm or even hot. Of course, wool will shrink if not washed in cold water and dried on a towel or on ;air fluff. You probably know all that. If you plan to wear a shirt under the sweater, which I often do, it affects the way the armholes fit.
Best,
Ramona

I’ve looked at a couple Lion Brand sweater pattern, and they both have about 4 inches ease. One might have been even more. Is that good? I don’t want to be swimming in my sweater, but I don’t want it tight, either.
I think other sweaters I’ve made had about 2 inches ease, but it’s been a while. What do people think?
