“To achieve the benefits of vertical lines, including elongating the torso, look to patterned ribbing, cables, vertical lace, and vertical front band details. Knitting actual vertical stripes can make you look rounder (think of how longitude lines on a globe actually call attention to its roundness)” —Stefanie Japel
