Dolman Pullover for Child 28 inch chest
knitted from cuff to cuff
I took a butted boat neck sweater and worked it from
the cuff to cuff and the body pieces sideways, dividing the sleeve in half so that there are 2 pieces
GAUGE: 18 stitches by 22 rows
Body knit by Singer
Elna 2300 using TD5
Ribbing knit by Elna 2300 using TD3
BACK AND FRONT: Work 2 pieces the same
- Cast on 18 stitches from L21 to L38 with Waste Yarn at TD5 and
Stockinet stitch and knit about 6 or 7 rows then one row of ravel
cord. Reset counter to zeros
- Increase 1 stitch on right side only every 2 rows 11 times, then
1 stitch every row 44 times (or you can cast on 2 stitches every 2
rows as I shown in the video) to 73 stitches (L38 to R35).
Mark right side of work
- Knit 20 rows, mark left side
- Knit 46 rows, mark left side again, this will be the neck
opening
- Knit 20 rows. Mark right side of work again
- Decrease 1 stitch on right side every 1 row 44 times (or if you
want to bind off 2 stitches every 2 rows), then 1 stitch on the
right side every 2 rows 11 times.
- Work off on Waste Yarn
SHOULDER SEAMS: Sew the 2 shoulder seams and sleeve top, I
did a crochet sewing, seems to have a much tighter hold than the
mattress stitch
SLEEVES CUFFS: Hang 36 live stitches with TD4 knit up 10
rows rib of your choice
You can now sew one bottom sleeve seam or work the bottom ribbing
separately and sew the 2 sleeve bottom and side seams
BOTTOM RIBBING:
- Hang 70 stitches from front and back and work rib of your
choice.
- Knit 14 rows and Bind Off.
FINISHING
Sew any remaining seams.
Darn/weave/sew in all loose ends.
