Geometry II

Geometry II is a short sleeve version of my design [Geometry][2]. It can be knit up quickly and is a versatile layering piece. Its modular construction is very flexible, making it easy to fit any body shape. Tips are given on how to adjust the neckline width, body length, body circumference and sleeve circumference. Geometry II is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches. **Materials** **Yarn** Worsted weight yarn knit to a bulky gauge.
