DUNES can be worn as a buttoned sweater on the back or a cardigan.
It is knit from top to bottom seamlessly in pattern ribs. We start the yoke from the front then the half backs with a rounded neckline shaped with short rows. The body (back and front) is then worked back and forth. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round. The buttonband is picked up and then knitted parallel to the body.
