Dolomite
Experimenting with different ways to construct a seamless sweater from the top down, Norah knit this dolman sleeve, V-neck pullover beginning with a ribbed shoulder band which extends from the neck to the top of the deep sleeve cuff. Decorative garter details on the shoulder piece make picking up for the back and fronts very easy, marking a space to pick up 3 stitches each time. The worksheet / formula aspect of the pattern allows knitters to customize the sleeve length and depth of the V-neck to suit their personal style. After working the back and fronts down from the shoulder, the underarms are joined with a three needle bind off and the remainder is worked in the round. A delicate cable and rib panel adorns the center front, expanding out from the base of the neck.
