Description
Simple details define the structure and accentuate the vertical line of this body-hugging dolman. A graduated rib at the lower edge leads the eye to the single center cable, and ribs punctuated with small eyelets delineate the gradual transition from body to sleeves. This soft alpaca/angora-blend sweater is worked in one piece that begins at the lower front and continues up over the shoulders and down the back. Once the body and sleeves are seamed, the sweater is finished with a row of single crochet at the neck.
