Pattern notes
This allover colourwork pullover has an unusual construction, and is knitted from side to side. Stitches are cast on for one cuff, then increased at a regular rate to form one dolman sleeve and shoulder. A steek bridge is cast on for the waist; another for the neck; and the body is worked across to the second shoulder. A second dolman sleeve is then knitted and shaped, decreasing at a regular rate to the cuff. The steek bridges are cut open, revealing the neck and body openings. A few rounds of garter stitch in a contrasting shade complete the edgings around the cuffs, hem, and neck. Length can be added (if desired) to sleeves or body by extending the contrasting hems.
