CONSTRUCTION

• Dolman-sleeved sweater is worked in two pieces (Front and Back) from the bottom up. Stitches are cast on for the Sleeves at the underarm. After working to the full garment depth, Sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the neck shaping is worked, and the Sleeve seams are later joined together using the Joinery Bind Off. Stitches are picked up and worked in the round for the neckband.
