Basalt Tank
p. 16, “Hexagons”
From Knitting Nature:
Rather than carving out the perfectly rounded armhole and debating the depth of the modest yet sexy neckline, I let the hexagonal structure determine all shaping. Turns out, the long-sided version is, without a doubt, the most flattering hand-knit sweater I have ever had on my rounded five-foot frame. For the wasp-waisted and young, a second, more fitted version may be made by omitting the two side hexagons.
