Dorothy Boucle Knit (Designed by Knitting Dorothy)

Dorothy Boucle Knit is a summer top-down knit designed by Knitting Dorothy, made with Wave Boucle yarn — a crisp, airy yarn with a cool and textured feel.

This design includes two versions: a sleeveless version for a light and breezy summer look, and a long-sleeve version that offers extra coverage from the sun. The overall length can also be customized as either a cropped or longer fit, depending on your preference.

The slightly sheer stitch pattern adds a cool and airy mood without feeling too revealing. It provides good breathability while gently covering the body, making it a comfortable summer knit to wear with ease.

Dorothy Boucle Knit is worked with a repeating lace pattern created using only yarn overs and decreases. A contrast color detail is added to the hem of the body, but you can customize this detail according to your taste.

The pattern includes 6 sizes. It is designed with approximately 6–8 cm of positive ease around the bust and a regular fit with slightly dropped shoulders. If you prefer an off-shoulder or oversized fit, we recommend choosing 1–2 sizes larger.

Enjoy your summer knitting with this cool lace-textured design made with crisp and airy Wave Boucle yarn.
