Dagmar Zipper Sweater - PetiteKnit knitting pattern

The Dagmar Zipper Sweater is worked top-down in a textured pattern. First, the upper back section is worked with increases. Then, the shoulders are made from picked-up stitches at the top of the back. The body is knitted in the round on circular needles. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves around the armholes, which are then worked downwards in the round. Finally, a ribbed neckline and double-knit edges are added where the zipper is attached.

First, knit a gauge swatch to determine the right needle size for you. Feel free to make your gauge swatch following the chart in the pattern.
