Dolcezza

Discover the charm of this exquisite tunic-style sweater, designed for both comfort and elegance. This beautiful piece features a front and back crafted entirely in cozy garter stitch, making it a perfect addition to your wardrobe for those chilly days. A dainty small cable begins at the lower edge and seamlessly transitions into a stunning trellis cable pattern, creating a striking contrast against the soft garter stitch. These unique design elements not only enhance the visual appeal but also provide texture that every knitter will admire.

This delightful small cable design is mirrored on the lower section of the sleeves, which then transition into a plain finish. The sleeves are cleverly increased to create a semi-dolman silhouette, providing both style and ease of movement. Side slits add a flattering touch and extra comfort, further elevating the appeal of the lower section of the sweater. Whether you're dressing up for a casual outing or enjoying a cozy night in, this tunic-style sweater is versatile enough to fit any occasion.
