Two stitches, split horizontally. A honeycomb worked across the chest and the tops of the sleeves, and a flat rib everywhere below it - joined on a line that runs straight across under the bust.
Putting the heavier texture at the top is what makes the proportion work: the honeycomb holds its own volume, so the shoulders read wide, and the plain rib below falls close and skims the body from there down. The V neckline is cut deep into the textured panel, the sleeves balloon out and gather into deep cuffs, and the hem sits above the knee.
It is an unusual amount of technical knitting for something that reads this simply.
