114.5, 124.5, 134.5, 145, 152.5] cm) bust/chestcircumference. Sweater shown measures45" (114.5 cm).

YARNSportweight (#2 Fine).

Shown here: SWTC Bamboo (100% bamboo;250 yd [229 m]/100 g): #138 purplexed, 5 (5, 5, 6,6, 7, 7) balls.

NEEDLESSize U.S. 5 (3.75 mm): 24" (60 cm) circular.

Adjust needle size if necessary toobtain the correct gauge.

NOTIONSMarkers (m); waste yarn for stitch holders;row counter (optional); tapestry needle.

GAUGE28 stitches and 36 rows = 4" (10 cm)in stockinette stitch.

A pretty twist-stitch pattern on back and along front neck

provides decoration and shaping at the same time. Decreases

are worked into the patterning, giving the body of this dolman

tee an A-line shape that flatters full figures. The back and

front are worked upward from the lower edge with stitches

for the sleeves cast-on at each side. The sleeves are gradually

increased as the piece is worked to the shoulder line, and the

pieces are grafted together at the shoulders. This style works

well for most plus-sized women and offers an especially

strong option for women in the largest sizes. Bamboo yarnkeeps the fabric light and breathable.
