Knit in a textured stitch pattern, randomized by rolling dice, the knit\/purl stitches break up the colours in short variegated and speckled yarns beautifully, taming even the most difficult yarns. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBumbletee is slightly cropped, with hexagonal panels in the centre front and back body, designed to draw the eye towards the centre of the body and away from the hips. The sleeves cover the outside of the arms, with less fabric under the arm. Sleeves can be seamed at the inner arm to create a typical sleeve shape, or left unseamed for a loose flutter sleeve. The open, rounded hexagonal neckline is mirrored on the front and back of the sweater, making it cooler for the summer months. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSize \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a finished chest size that is 10-15 cm (4-6 in) larger than your upper torso\/high bust measurement.
