MODIFICATION IDEAS

Top-heavy shapes wanting a bit more emphasis on the hips can both exaggerate the bell shape of the sleeves and lengthen them a bit; the neckline is also a snap to narrow. Bottom-heavy shapes might work a more tapered sleeve and shorten the sweater body. The collar can also be worked longer and worn open for a shoulder-broadening look. It’s hard to go wrong with this flexible sweater!
