Dagmar Jacket Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Dagmar Jacket
The Dagmar Jacket is a richly textured, seamless cardigan worked from the top down. It begins with a flat-knit back yoke, shaped with increases, followed by picked-up shoulders that form the front. The body is worked back and forth with deep texture throughout, and the sleeves are picked up and worked in the round. A ribbed neckline and button bands (front plackets) complete the construction. Designed with ample positive ease, it’s both cozy and contemporary—with gorgeous structure and subtle detail.
