Description of Bee Your Vibe Sweater
Bee Your Vibe Sweater is knitted from top to bottom with a honeycomb pattern, stockinette stitch and a saddle shoulder. The neck is standing and covered with the honeycomb pattern. After the neckline, the shoulders, front, and back piece are divided. The honeycomb pattern continues at the shoulders and down the chest. The sweater’s shoulders are wider than the physical shoulder, giving an oversized look. Short rows are knitted to shape the neck and provide a good fit. After the shoulders and short rows are knitted, the body and sleeves are divided, after which the body and sleeves are knitted separately. The body is initially knitted as separated front and back pieces. After the armholes, the body is joined again and knitted in the round. Stitches are picked up for the
sleeves, which are then knitted in the round with the honeycomb pattern and stockinette stitch. Both the body and sleeves are finished with I-cord edges.

NOTE!
Bee Your Vibe Sweater is knit with a combination of a honeycomb pattern and stockinette stitch, which do not have the same gauge before wash. This means, that the sweater will be winkled at the shoulders and neck after increases. After washing, when the honeycomb pattern has opened up, the winkles will straighten up and the gauge will be closer. However, there will still be a difference between the large honeycomb panels at the front and sleeves and the stockinette stitch sections. The honeycomb pattern at the top of the shoulders can be shaped when the sweater is wet, hence all the folds disappear.
