Dagmar’s Shirt

Dagmar’s Shirt is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. The collar is worked at the end from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck edge. All edges are finished with a lovely picot. The edges and the collar benefit from a light pressing with an iron on low heat after washing.
