Trinity

The newest addition to the Stepaside Collection. Both the upper half and each lower half of this top-down dolman are each formed in one group of three entities, a Trinity. The sweater starts out with one Fair Isle band which begins the collar, sleeves and upper body all at the same time, and is then steeked (making a great project for first time steekers!). Once the upper body is complete and the sleeves joined using a 3-needle BO, the lower body is worked in the round. The Fair Isle bands in the lower body have a triple point at the front and back centre where the Stepaside pocket miter construction connects the front pocket and back vertical embellishment, then the lower body is continued in the round to the hem.
