Duggari Sweater Junior

Duggari is a raglan sweater knitting pattern for children, worked seamlessly from the top down in worsted weight yarn. The sweater features a textured yoke, high collar, and classic fisherman-sweater style.

This sweater resembles sailors’ sweaters of the past, hence the name Duggari. Dugga was a certain type of fishing boat used by Englishmen fishing around Iceland in the 16th century, the fishermen were called “Duggari”.

The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience. The following techniques are used: Casting on and off, adding new stitches in the beginning and end of a row, knitting and purling, picking up stitches to knit, increasing (M1R and M1L) and decreasing (k2tog and ssk). You will be working back and forth in pattern while the front neck is shaped, then stitches are joined to work the rest of the sweater in the round. Finally stitches at the neck are picked up to work the collar.

The pattern is available in men's sizes as well.
