Product description

Joji Locatelli returns to Wool People—her Seacoast pullover was a popular favorite from Volume 7—with an easy top-down sweater dress featuring graphic wide stripes.

Mimic begins with shoulder shaping and is worked flat to the underarms, then circularly to the single-ribbed hem. Customize the length by trying the garment on as you go; you can crop it at any point to suit your own style. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the dropped shoulders, shaped with short rows, and worked circularly to the ribbed cuffs.

Sizing is intentionally generous as there is no shaping in the torso; choose a size that gives you ample ease so the dress won’t cling at the hips. Our version is high contrast—Fossil and Cast Iron—but the possibilities for playing with different values and favorite hues of Loft are nearly endless.

Designer: Joji Locatelli

Collection: Wool People, Volume 9

    CONSTRUCTION

    • The garment is worked from the top down, beginning with the back shoulders, which are worked separately, then joined at the back neck. The back is worked flat to the underarm, and then placed on hold. The front is worked in the same manner. The back and front are then joined, and the body is worked circularly to the hem edge. The sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole, the sleeve is shaped with short rows to create a downwards angle matching the shoulder slope, and then the sleeve is worked circularly down to the cuff. The neckband is picked up and worked circularly after blocking.
    • The back shoulder stitches are cast on using 2 strands of yarn held together, to give stability to the shoulder. The second strand is broken before beginning to knit.


    FINISHED DIMENSIONS

    • 44 (46½, 48, 50½, 52, 56, 60, 64)” circumference at chest
    • Sample shown is size 46½” with +12½” ease on model

    Need help picking a size? See our resource page on Selecting a Sweater Size 101.


    GAUGE

    • Body: 20 stitches & 40 rounds = 4″ in stockinette stitch with Size A needle(s), after blocking
    • Sleeves: 24 stitches & 42 rounds = 4″ in stockinette stitch with Size B needle(s), after blocking


    NEEDLES

    Size A (for Main Fabric):

    • One 32″ circular needle in size needed to obtain gauge listed for body
    • Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)


    Size B (for Sleeves and Ribbing):

    • One each 16″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed for sleeves
    • Suggested Size: 3 mm (US 2½)


    *32″ circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round (i.e., Sleeves).
