A fingering weight pullover with MAXIMUM sleeves! This dolman-inspired sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down, with a deep V-neck, seed stitch button placket, and dramatic long sleeves. The front and back are worked flat for the ultra deep armholes, then
joined to work the body in the round.

The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round, decreasing to the cuff without restricting your range of motion. The body and
sleeves are finished with tidy knit-in hems, while the neck is finished with applied I-cord.
