The Dagmar Sweater is worked from the top down in a textured pattern. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth and shaped with increases. Then, the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke. The body is worked straight down in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. At the end a ribbed edge is worked along the neck edge. This kit includes the yarn.
