Here are some questions to consider as you look at these photos:
- How do you think the garment compliments each woman's individual body type and personal style?
- Which body type would this garment look best on?
- If you wanted to knit a sweater straight out of the magazine, with no pattern adjustments except for sleeve and hem length, would this be the sweater for you and your body type?
- Would it fit your personal style?
