100% American Merino wool, worsted-spun in a versatile fingering weight, lends the A-line Dominy sweater its lovely drape. Knit in Peerie yarn, Dominy is soft enough to pair with your favorite jeans, but polished enough to dress up. With knit-purl texture motifs along the hem, cuffs, and collar, and a cropped-length variation, this pullover offers plenty of options that are both modern and timeless.

Please note: the stitch patterns for this garment are charted only.


Construction

Both cropped and classic versions of Dominy are worked from the bottom up. The back and front hems are worked separately, then joined to continue working the body circularly to the armholes. The sleeves are worked circularly from the cuff up then joined with the body to complete the yoke.
