Cardigan Dagi
Cardigan - “Dagi”
This cardigan was designed by me a long time ago. My intention with this colorwork design was to create an easy pattern for knitters who want to get started on Fair-Isle technique without the next big jump into steeking. My greatest challenge while writing the pattern was the different gauges with the colorwork and plain stitches. So, I have not stopped writing down this pattern until it worked out finally just perfect. The trick was to use a top-down construction. I have knitted this cardigan several times myself. As you might guess, we really love this garment and I hope you will love it as well!
also available in a steekable version
