Dotty Pullover Sweater

PDF Knitting Pattern

$4.49

The Dotty Pullover is one of my favorite designs to date! It’s knit seamlessly in the round, from the neckline down to the hems. The dot stitch texture is made only with knits and purls, so if you can knit in the round and work basic increases and decreases, you can knit the Dotty Pullover.
