PetiteKnit Dagmar Jacket Pattern
The PetiteKnit Dagmar Jacket is a beautifully textured cardigan worked seamlessly from the top down. The design begins with the back yoke, which is knitted flat and shaped with increases to create a comfortable and flattering fit. Next, the shoulders are worked from stitches picked up along the top edge of the back yoke.
Once the yoke is complete, the body of the PetiteKnit Dagmar Jacket is worked back and forth in the signature textured pattern. The sleeves are then knitted in the round using a circular needle, with stitches picked up around the armhole openings for a clean, seamless construction.
To finish the Dagmar Jacket by PetiteKnit, front button bands and a classic ribbed neckline are added, creating an elegant and timeless garment suitable for year-round wear.
Before starting your PetiteKnit Dagmar Jacket knitting project, it is recommended to knit a gauge swatch in the textured pattern. The pattern includes a chart that can be used for swatching, helping you determine the correct needle size and achieve the required gauge for the best finished result.

Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part on your upper body) you should knit a size S.
