The combination of a soft-yet-sophisticated yarn, relatively small needles, and an all-over texture gives this shell a refined feeling. Subtle shaping in the body ensures that Honeycomb looks tailored and flatters the figure, but still has enough room so that a button-down shirt won’t bunch at the waist when worn underneath. Trims in a twisted rib pattern have just enough definition to set them off from the body of the sweater, as well as allowing for the use of only one needle size for the whole piece.
