Geometry II is a short sleeve version of my design Geometry. 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.

Gauge

13 sts x 22 rows = 10 cm / 4 inches in Stockinette stitch, blocked.

The sample yarn is a 100% cotton yarn, which has a tendency to grow widthwise and shrink lengthwise. The swatch fresh off your needles is going to have a higher number of stitches and a smaller number of rows, just make sure that you can block your swatch to the blocked gauge.

Note: It is not necessary to match the row gauge exactly since this sweater is knit to length but it affects the yardage estimate and the pick up ratio for the sides.

14.5 sts x 19 rows = 10 cm / 4 inches in 4x2 Rib, blocked and unstretched.
