Jolene was named after Dolly Parton’s legendary country hit. It is a soft and feminine sweater, knitted from the top down with fluffy yarn. The design features an elegant v-neck and a simple cable detail at the waist, shaping the otherwise relaxed, loose silhouette. The sleeves and hem are finished with beautiful i-cord edges. The back is first knitted flat, and then the stitches for each shoulder are picked up. The neckline is shaped with increases. Finally, the front and back pieces are joined onto the same needles, and the body is worked in the round.
