Open Front Hooded Knit Cardigan Dolman Sleeves
A longline hooded cardigan in a soft knit, open-fronted with no buttons and no fastening, with a full hood, dolman sleeves gathered into long ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem.
A hood knitted onto a cardigan is slow, so colours run shallow.
A full hood on a long open knit
A canal towpath on a grey afternoon is a dog, a lead and an hour of walking past other people doing exactly the same thing. A longline cardigan falls open the whole way down, because there is nothing on it to fasten, and the hood is full enough to go up when the drizzle starts rather than lying flat against the head.
The line it makes is two long verticals from shoulder to hem, which is something a coat cannot do while it is buttoned. The dolman sleeve puts no seam on the shoulder, so the knit moves as the arm swings, and the ribbed cuff keeps the sleeve at the wrist. People coming the other way read somebody out on purpose rather than somebody caught out.
The two open edges down the front do more than a button would.
Knitted hood, dolman sleeve, ribbed cuff
The knit is soft and the cardigan is cut longline, open at the front with no buttons and no fastening of any kind, so it hangs from the shoulder in two straight edges. The hood is full and knitted onto the body rather than added to it.
The sleeves are dolman, cut wide at the top out of the body of the knit and gathered into long ribbed cuffs, so the fullness is held at the wrist instead of at the shoulder. The hem is ribbed to match, which is what stops a long knit dropping out of shape.

Hooded knits come in shallow lots
A hood has to be knitted and then set onto the body one cardigan at a time, so a colour comes through shallow and then stops. The darker and the neutral shades go first, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Take the colour while it is up on the selector. Fourteen days from delivery is enough to try it on at home and send it back unworn and in its original condition.
