Dagmar Sweater

Instructions will be sent by mail - no download possible!

The Dagmar Sweater is worked in a textured pattern from top to bottom. First, the upper part of the back is worked with increases. Then, the shoulders are created by picking up stitches from the top of the back. The body is worked in the round on a circular needle. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes and then worked in the round downwards. Finally, a ribbed band is worked at the neckline.

First, knit a swatch to determine the correct needle size for you. Feel free to knit the swatch following the diagram in the instructions.
