Bubble Cable Dolman Knitting Pattern Download

Description

The designer revisits a classic silhouette in the Bubble Cable Dolman, adding deep ribbing at the waist and cuffs for shapely fit. Knit as one long piece from cuff to cuff, a luxurious merino/cashmere blend lends smooth drape to the heavily textured fabric.
