Construction and Design Details
This beautifully crafted sweater begins with casting on stitches specifically for the back shoulders and neck area. A series of short rows are skillfully worked to shape and sculpt the upper back, ensuring a comfortable fit. Once this top section is established, the knitting continues seamlessly down to the underarm. After reaching this stage, stitches are then carefully picked up from the cast-on edge of the back, allowing for the front to be knitted as a mirror image. Neck shaping is incorporated for a polished finish.
The subsequent step involves joining the fronts and back at the underarm, allowing the body of the sweater to be worked in the round down to the hem. This method maintains a clean and smooth finish, essential for a professional-looking garment. Finally, stitches are picked up around the armholes to create the sleeves, which are designed to complement the sweater’s flowing silhouette.
The overall style and shape of this sweater mimic that of a dolman sweater while featuring more fitted sleeves, ensuring both style and comfort. Its unique design makes it an ideal addition to any wardrobe, perfect for layering or standalone wear during cooler months.
