Dingley Dell

Inspired by cricket sweaters of the 90s, Dingley Dell is worked seamlessly from the top down using the contiguous set-in sleeve method (developed by Susie Myers) to shape the shoulders and sleeve caps. Firstly increases are worked on both RS and WS rows to the final shoulder width, then the sleeve caps are worked simultaneously with the V-neck shaping to sleeve separation. The body is then worked top down, in rounds to the bottom ribbing. Short sleeves are also worked top down, in rounds. Neck finishing is worked last.
