Dagmar Zipper Sweater The Dagmar Zipper Sweater is worked from the top down in cable and textured patterns. First, the back yoke is worked flat and shaped with increases. Each shoulder is then worked separately from stitches picked up along the top of the back yoke and joined to form the front yoke. The body is worked in the round, and sleeves are worked in the round from stitches picked up along the armholes. At the end, a ribbed neck edge is worked, along with double-knitted front bands where the zipper is installed. Begin by knitting a swatch to determine the correct needle size for the textured pattern. The sweater is designed with approx. 26 cm of positive ease for an oversized fit.Choose a size based on your bust measurement.
