Dot Sweater - Baby
Dot Sweater with its allover dot pattern is the perfect project for playing with different color combinations and for using up some of your smaller quantities of leftover yarn. Dot Sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with a raglan construction and in an allover simple Fair Isle dot pattern. The ribbed neckband has a side opening that is closed with two buttons, and matching ribbed edges finish the body and sleeves.
