Dagmar Sweater Man

The Dagmar Sweater Man is worked from the top down in a textured pattern.

First, the back yoke is worked flat. Stitches are then picked up along the top of the back yoke to form the shoulders. The body is worked straight down in the round on a circular needle. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up along the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round. At the end, a ribbed edge is worked along the neckline.

Begin by knitting a swatch to determine which needle size gives you the correct gauge in the textured pattern. The swatch can be worked using the chart provided in the pattern.

The sweater is designed with approx. 20 cm of positive ease.
