When I first saw the Einstein tile, (new shape that covers a plane in a Never-Repeating Pattern.) I thought it looked like a sweater (not a hat). So I designed a sweater based on this shape. I broke the shape down to 4 identical modules to make the knitting easier. Because of the fixed shape, the ratio of width and length is fixed. The sample has a 36” finished chest and 27” total width to the pointy part of the hem. See the table below, the larger sizes would be more tunic or even dress length. The fit of the armhole area is like a dolman, rather baggy but again limited by the Einstein tile shape. Suggest a drapey yarn to make a smoother fit.
