Speckled Hearts
Snuggle up in the ultimate cozy sweater with a timeless, universally flattering fit! Dolman-style sweaters may come and go in the fashion spotlight, but they remain a constant symbol of effortless elegance. The Speckled Hearts sweater is no exception, crafted from a lightweight yarn that drapes beautifully and moves with a soft, bouncy feel.
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.
