Reminiscent of a classic Fisherman’s Aran, with a few modern adjustments to fit and flatter a curvy feminine shape, the diVerge pullover uses Reverse Stockinette stitch and mirrored cables to accentuate a girlish figure. Modified dropped shoulder shaping and a deep V-neck silhouette provide a flattering fit, without extra fabric or additional waist shaping.

Intended Ease: diVerge can be worn with either positive or negative ease, depending on the figure and preference of the knitter. Those with curvier figures can choose a size with up to 4 inches/10cm negative ease at the bust, while those with a smaller difference between waist and bust measurements may wish for a size with up to 2 inches/ 5cm of positive ease.
