This is a pattern I came up with when I was in need of something, warm, casual, and stylish. I didn’t have anything that was exactly what I wanted, so created this beautiful dolman sleeves blanket sweater!
The two coloured stripe pattern adds much needed color to a basic outfit. It adds just the right amount of pop and style.

I went with the bold stripe design, but you can opt to do pretty much anything you want color-wise. Make this gorgeous piece in all one color (red would be lovely) or create your own bold stripe design. The options for putting your own spin on this gorgeous cardigan are endless.

This cardigan is designed to fit a multitude of different body types. It’s great for any size S - L, and it’s a cinch to alter to fit someone either smaller or larger.

I used Caron One Pound yarn for the design because I love how easy it is to care for an item made with this yarn. However, don’t let what I used stifle your creativity! The cardigan can be made in a variety of different materials. Just make sure you check your gauge and measurements to make the right shape! (and drape!)

I ended up needing 2 skeins of my main color (forest green) and only one of my secondary color (denim). But, if you do only one color, you probably only need 2 skeins of Caron One Pound to finish your project.

I hope you all love this beautiful cardigan as much as I do!
