THIS DOLMAN sweater has a body with an all-over lace pattern which is worked in a DK-weight yarn. Once the body is knitted, the shoulders are joined using the three-needle cast-off. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves, which are worked in the round using a 4ply yarn. “This garment has a loose-fitting, boxy shape, with oversized sleeves in the style of Japanese kimonos,” says Anniken Allis. “Because the sleeves are worked from the top down, they can be customised to any length.”
