PATTERN NOTESThis Duster is available in a short version, falling approximately to the knees, and a long version, falling approximately to the floor.
This Duster is constructed in pieces which are worked flat from the bottom up, then seamed together.
Next, Flower Granny Squares are made separately to accent the Duster. Squares are sewn together to form strips. Strips are then sewn to sleeve cuffs, front panels, and bottom hem.
The finished dimensions provided and seen in the schematic are before blocking has occurred. This yarn and stitch pattern produce a loose fabric with excellent drape. The finished project can be expected to stretch an additional 3-6” in size after blocking.
ERRATA 04/28/25 - This pattern had an error in Row 2 of the Back and Front Panels and Sleeves. This row has now been corrected to read:
Ch 7 (counts as tr + ch-2, here and throughout), * ch 2, sk 2 sts, dtr in next st; rep from * across, turn.
