Seamless top-down dolman sweater in fingering yarn—relaxed fit, soft movement, and universally flattering fit.

Speckled Hearts is knit seamlessly from the top down, making it easy to try on as you go. First, the back is knit back and forth while the sloped shoulders are shaped with short rows to create a good fit. Then, stitches for each front shoulder are picked up and worked back and forth to the underarms where front panels and back are joined and the body is knit down to the lower hem. Sleeves are picked up directly from the body and worked in the round to the cuffs.
