Dounduff Knitting Pattern

Angled lace rings suggest the mystery and magic of an aimless ramble in the woods. Around and around, you may never see the same path twice, yet you know you’re not truly lost.

Enjoy the twists and turns that take you through short row yoke shaping, then proceed down the body in one piece, with optional bust darts. This deceptively simple, gently fitted jumper will em- brace you perfectly.

Sizing
Finished bust circumference: 80 (85, 90, 95, 99.5, 104.5, 109.5, 114, 119, 124) cm / 32 (34, 36, 38, 39.75, 41.75, 43.75, 45.5, 47.5, 49.5) in

Yarn
