Frequently asked questions
Is Dagmar Zipper Sweater a full-zip cardigan?
No. It is a pullover with a 23 cm zip at the neck. The main body is worked in the round beneath the opening.
How are the Dagmar Zipper Sweater zip edges finished?
The opening has double-knitted front edges, with a ribbed neck edge worked at the end. This is a separate finishing stage from knitting the main body.
