Discover my unique take on the trendy dolman sleeved sweaters that are taking the fashion scene by storm this season. Unlike traditional batwing designs, this sweater features a more body-hugging silhouette that embraces your natural shape while providing a chic, cozy look. With a slightly dropped sleeve, classic waist shaping, and a stunning vertical cable design, this sweater creates flattering lines that enhance your figure.

The clever details along the shoulder help to draw the eye upward, achieving the sought-after dolman effect without the bulk of excess fabric. Additionally, an elegant cable running down one side not only adds visual interest but also accentuates your curves rather than concealing them. The short sleeves elegantly balance the overall silhouette and pair perfectly with a fitted tee underneath, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

This knitting pattern features simple construction, making it beginner-friendly while offering enough complexity for more experienced knitters. You'll find a variety of hints throughout that make it easy to modify for any width or length you feel will be most flattering for your body type. Whether you want to adjust the ease for your hips, bust, or waist, you can achieve a truly custom fit tailored just for you.

If you decide to substitute yarn for this cozy dolman sleeved sweater, I recommend choosing a light and drapey fiber, preferably in a subtle tweed or heather finish. Steer clear of any dense or heavy materials that could detract from the sweater's airy feel.

The sample sweater is crafted using The Fibre Company Canopy Worsted yarn, which provides a beautiful drape and warmth. Additionally, other listed yarns are suggested substitutes to ensure you have plenty of options for your project.
