PATTERN LAUNCHING FRIDAY January 27th

Dornie is a top-down, cable-knit sweater with a simple repeated motif of cables and rib. The sweater is started at the back neck and shaped, then joined in the round and raglan increases and worked to shape the yoke. The body is worked without shaping and the arms have gentle decreases. The cuffs, hem and collar are finished in 1x1 rib.

It can be knit in Aran or Worsted weight, or worsted or DK held with lace weight. To see the Dornie knit in a variety of yarns and with various modifications, please see the #DornieSweater on Instagram.
