Duggari Sweater Junior

Introducing the Duggari Sweater, a timeless raglan model inspired by classic sailors' sweaters from history. Named after the "Duggari," fishermen who operated a specific type of fishing boat around Iceland in the 16th century, this exquisite sweater embodies both tradition and craftsmanship. The Duggari Sweater showcases a simple yet elegant structural pattern in the yoke, complemented by a high collar that adds an element of sophistication. Designed to be knitted from the neck down, this pattern offers a unique knitting experience. You will start by working back and forth in the pattern to shape the front neck, then seamlessly join the stitches to create the rest of the sweater in the round for a smooth finish. Finally, you will pick up stitches at the neckline to knit the cozy collar.

This knitting pattern is suitable for knitters of various skill levels, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and more experienced crafters. Throughout the process, you will master essential knitting techniques, including casting on and binding off, adding new stitches at the beginning and end of a row, mastering knit and purl stitches, picking up stitches, and performing increases (M1R and M1L) and decreases (k2tog and ssk).

For this project, any worsted weight yarn can be used, although Cascade 220 is a popular choice among many knitters due to its quality and availability. Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Duggari Sweater is not only a functional piece but also a piece of art reflecting Icelandic culture and history.
