Dagmar Sweater - Paper
Dagmar Sweater is knitted top down in textured knit. First, the top part of the back piece is knitted with increases. Then the shoulders are knitted from the open stitches at the top of the back piece. The body is knitted in the round on circular needle. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needle from the open stitches at the sleeve opening. Finally, a rib edge is knitted at the neck.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge. You can knit a swatch according to the diagram in the pattern.
Size guide
The Dagmar Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 26 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A sweater in size S has an upper width of 116 cm and in the aforementioned example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 26 cm.
