Dagmar Zipper Sweater by PetiteKnit x Hjelholt

Construction
The Dagmar Zipper Sweater is worked from the top down with cable and textured motifs. First, the back yoke is knitted flat, back and forth, with increases. Then each shoulder is worked separately from stitches picked up along the top of the back yoke. The body is worked in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle from stitches picked up along the armhole openings. Finally, a ribbed neckband is knitted, along with double front edges along the opening where the zipper will be installed.
