Dottila by Heidi Kaiser
A new design in Homey Svelte
Dottila is a jacket you won’t want to take off: generously cut, comfortable and knitted seamlessly from the top down. The slip-stitch pattern in the contrast colour adds little dots as an accent and gives the jacket its distinctive texture. It looks refined, yet it is surprisingly easy to knit, as you only work with one colour per row.
Double-knit bands and Italian bind-off edges give the jacket a clean, high-quality finish.
In this second version, Dottila shows its down-to-earth side. Heidi’s sample jacket was knitted in our Homey Svelte, a 100% German merino wool yarn with a cosy, rustic character. The stitches have a soft, slightly fuzzy halo, which gives the fabric a warm, natural look. As the yarn is airier overall, you need less of it. The dots still stand out beautifully thanks to the contrast colour.
