Cocoknits
Julie Weisenberger of Cocoknits
has created a top down, seamless
sweater making system that
imitates the look of a set-in sleeve.
Sometimes seamless sweaters suffer
from lack of structure that causes
them to lose shape. Julie has solved
this problem by adapting the English
Tailored Shoulder to hand knitting.
This technique gives your sweater
good bones, providing structure and
support in the critical shoulder area.
Your choices for your class project
include the Emma pullover, Emma
cardigan, or Franca, a shawl
collared, long cardigan with slouchy
pockets.
