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

Sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down. Knitting begins at the back shoulders with short row shaping. Back is worked back and forth to underarms before putting stitches on hold. Stitches are then picked up for front shoulders, shaped with short rows, and worked back and forth to underarms where back and front are joined and worked in rounds down to lower hem. Sleeves are then picked up from the body and worked in rounds down to cuffs.
