This modern interpretation of a classic dolman sweater is anything but ordinary. Worked in simple stockinette stitch, the main design detail becomes the perfectly placed full-fashioned decreases along the armhole edges.

The body and sleeves are worked separately with deep raglan shaping (rather than the typical side-to-side approach) in order to create structure, and three-quarter length sleeves keep the oversized silhouette in balance. Cline is a must-have for any wardrobe.

Construction
Pullover is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, then sewn together. Neckband is worked circularly from picked up stitches, then folded and sewn to the inside of the garment.
