Description
Zoe is a lightweight, open cardigan trimmed with an I-cord edging that begins at the back neck CO and is knitted seamlessly down and along the front edges.
This pattern uses a modified COCOKNITS METHOD, with the shoulder join dropped to the back. The sleeves, however, are picked up and knitted down from the armhole opening rather than as a seamless yoke. Although this pattern features the signature Cocoknits English tailoring with the front/back join pushed to the back, Sarah does not require the Cocoknits Worksheet.
