Dottie Sweater
Introducing the Dottie Cardigan, a stylish and elegant knitting pattern that combines comfort and sophistication in one beautiful piece. This oversized cardigan features a cozy draped collar and convenient inset pockets, making it an essential addition to any wardrobe. With its loose fit and exquisite design, the Dottie Cardigan is bound to become a favorite among knitters and wearers alike.
The design is thoughtfully crafted with classic, clean lines and a delightful all-over dot stitch pattern, which is mirrored in the collar and edging. This unique dot detail adds a touch of playfulness to the overall look, setting it apart from standard knitwear. I had comfort in mind while designing this sweater; it provides just the right blend of neat aesthetics and oversized coziness, all while being made from luxuriously soft and warm yarn. Of course, having functional pockets was a must, further enhancing its practical appeal.
Whether you're knitting for yourself or making a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Dottie Cardigan fits the bill. Its generous sizes range from XS to XXL, accommodating a variety of body types. The finished bust measurements are: 35 (38, 42, 46, 49, 53) inches, with the collar adding 4.75 (5.75, 5.75, 5.75, 5.75, 5.75) inches on each side for that extra touch of flair. The finished length also varies slightly, measuring 23.5 (24, 24, 24, 24.5, 24.5) inches, perfect for layering over your favorite outfits.
For this pattern, we recommend using Quince & Co. Lark yarn, which consists of 100% American wool and comes in a variety of beautiful colors to suit your style. You will need 10 (11, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) skeins to complete your cardigan. The project requires US 5 (3.74mm) and US 6 (4mm) needles, or sizes necessary to achieve the desired gauge. The gauge you’ll be aiming for is 18 stitches and 26 rows per 4 inches in stockinette on the larger needles, ensuring a perfect fit for your cozy creation.
