Dagmar Jacket Junior - Knitting Pattern

Designed by PetiteKnit

This pattern is a printed pattern in English.

The children's version of the Dagmar Jacket, worked top-down in cable and texture patterning. The back yoke is worked flat first, then each shoulder is built separately from stitches picked up along the top of the back yoke. Front panels and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, worked flat on a circular needle, while the sleeves are worked from stitches picked up around the armholes. Button plackets and a ribbed neck edge, both picked up and knitted, finish the jacket.

Knit a gauge swatch in the textured pattern (using the chart in the pattern) before starting.
