Dolinger
Introducing the Dolinger Sweater: a stylish and versatile short-sleeved pullover that features a charming sailor collar and beautifully crafted cross-hatch ribbing on the sleeve cuffs and at the hips. This delightful knit pullover is designed with a wide ribbing on the body and sleeves, making it a perfect choice for both casual wear and more polished outfits.
Ideal for transitioning from the final warm days of summer into the crisp beginnings of fall, Dolinger is created using the exquisite Anzula Cricket yarn. This DK weight blend of merino wool, cashmere, and nylon (often referred to as MCN) offers incredible stitch definition along with a luxuriously soft feel against the skin. The sweater is designed to be fitted, featuring flattering waist shaping and form-fitting sleeves that enhance your silhouette.
The construction of Dolinger is from the bottom up, highlighting waist shaping, classic raglan sleeves, and a stylish v-neckline. Most of the sweater is knitted in the round, allowing for a seamless look until you reach the point of splitting for the v-neck. If you typically find that your gauge in the round is significantly tighter than your flat gauge, you may need to use smaller needles when working on the raglan yoke to achieve the perfect fit.
Dolinger is thoughtfully available in a variety of bust measurements: 32 (35, 38, 41, 44, 47, 50) inches, designed to hug your curves and provide a close-fitting style. Depending on your size, this pattern requires 4 (4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7) skeins of Anzula Cricket yarn, each skein containing approximately 250 yards. This ensures you have enough yarn to create a stunning and comfortable garment that you’ll want to wear season after season.
