When we daydream about summer knitting projects, we find our minds wandering towards yarn and patterns by DanDoh. The founder of DanDoh Yarn, Yumiko Alexander, creates designs that are a harmonious blend of simple shapes, rich textures, and unique stitch patterns that cater to all body types. When you cast on one of her beautiful creations, you can guarantee that each piece will become a go-to wardrobe staple that effortlessly combines simplicity and elegance. Her knit and crochet patterns are worked exclusively in DanDoh's tiny, but mighty, curated line of three yarns; Linen, Silk+, and the NEW Cotton Air. 

Cotton Air is a 2ply, lightly twisted, fine cotton yarn with an assortment of rich, beautiful colors. This yarn features a crispness that maintains round, open stitches which create an airy fabric for lightweight garments and accessories. Intended to be held doubled, Cotton Air allows knitters to create a wide range of color effects by pairing colors of their choosing.

To celebrate the launch of her new yarn, Yumiko released this stunning Reflection pullover pattern. Reflection is a warm weather top that is all about colors. This no fuss knit is made with rectangular pieces and no shaping, making it an approachable project for a variety of skill levels. 

Worked entirely with simple stockinette stitch, the magic in this piece comes from the color blocks, which are worked with two strands of Cotton Air yarn in different color combinations to create a bold and playful visual. Pattern instructions for Reflection include a variety of body options, as well as sleeve depth/length adjustments, so that every body can find their preferred style and fit.
