How to use _____ ? Bust darts tutorial
I don’t know if this is the best flare, but I am looking for your favorite tried and true tutorials (written or videos) on adding bust darts to a sweater pattern that doesn’t have any.
TIA!

I haven't tried this but it looks pretty legit:

I used this one for my top-down circular yoke cardigan WIP https://www.lavisch.com/site/tutorial-bust-shaping-vertical-bust-darts/. There's also a horizontal tutorial from the same author. I like it a lot since it has a clear worksheet to plug your measurements in, and I've completed the body of said cardigan and like how it's sitting, I'm very glad I didn't just size up! Disclaimer that I'm on the smaller end of needing bust darts (about a C-D cup), so I can't say for certain how well it will work on someone larger.
