Belmar Cardigan

**Belmar Dolman Sleeve Cardigan Pattern** Discover the perfect layering piece for autumn and winter with the Belmar Dolman Sleeve Cardigan. Designed with a larger gauge, this versatile jacket is both stylish and cozy, making it an essential addition to your fall wardrobe. The Belmar pattern starts at the bottom of the back, where stitches are expertly bound off for the back neck. The knitting then flows seamlessly over the shoulders and down to the hems of the front panels. The unique dolman sleeve shaping incorporates a process of increasing and decreasing stitches, along with cast-ons and bind-offs, to create a flattering silhouette. After completing the body of the cardigan, the side and sleeve seams are sewn together, followed by the addition of cuffs and a collar, with stitches picked up for a polished finish. For an ideal fit, we've photographed the Belmar cardigan with approximately 6 inches of positive ease, but we recommend aiming for a comfortable range of 3 to 6 inches for your own version. This ensures that your cardigan drapes beautifully while allowing for movement and layering. The sample is showcased using a luxurious blend of 90% Wool and 10% Kid Mohair from Beaverslide Dry Goods, providing unmatched warmth and softness. For those looking to explore alternative yarn options, we have suggested substitutes listed below for your convenience.
