Knitting pattern for Dervish sweater, a delicate sweater with many pretty details. The balloon sleeves are a funny detail, which can be omitted if you prefer to knit ordinary straight sleeves. It is fun to knit and light and pleasant to wear, both summer and winter. Dress it with a pair of jeans or a pair of a pretty skirt for a festive occasion.
