Dagmar Sweater Junior Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Dagmar Sweater Junior
The Dagmar Sweater Junior is a richly textured children’s sweater featuring cable and moss stitch elements. Worked seamlessly from the top down, the sweater begins with a back yoke knit flat, followed by shaped shoulders and a front yoke formed from picked-up stitches. Once the front and back are joined at the underarms, the body is worked in the round, and the sleeves are picked up and knitted downwards. The design is finished with a folded ribbed neckline for a classic, cozy look. Designed with plenty of positive ease for a relaxed fit.
