Dagian

Introducing the Dagian, a versatile and stylish garment that offers the flexibility of being worn as either a cozy vest or a full sweater. Crafted from the bottom up, the Dagian features two neck options: a classic crew neck for a timeless look or a deep V neck for a more modern twist. Its beautiful textures include a combination of garter and twisted stitch lines, allowing you to choose between playful bobbles for added flair or a minimalist design for a sleek finish.

In this pattern, you'll master essential knitting techniques that contribute to the Dagian's chic style. The bottom-up construction begins with the Vest or Sweater Body worked in the round before separating the front and back at the underarm to work flat. You'll learn to shape the shoulders using short rows, which are seamlessly joined with a three-needle bind-off for a clean finish. For the vest variation, stitches are picked up around the armholes to craft a ribbed capped edging, while the sweater offers full tapered sleeves, making this piece perfect for any season.

Both neck designs, the V neck and the round neck, utilize simple decreases for an elegant silhouette. The pattern also guides you through picking up stitches around the neckline to create a snug 2/2 ribbing collar that complements your design beautifully. With comprehensive instructions, this knitting pattern includes both charted and written formats, ensuring that knitters of all skill levels can successfully create their very own Dagian. Whether you opt for the vest or the full sweater, this pattern promises a delightful knitting experience and a stunning final garment that you'll cherish.
