Sarah

$10.00 USD

Sarah is a perfect in-between seasons jacket - just right for cool days in lieu of a coat. The half-fisherman rib is not quite as condensed as full fisherman rib, resulting in a lofty, slightly puffy fabric. Dramatic angled, drop-shoulders and oversized pockets make Sarah fun to knit and even more fun to wear!

This is a Cocoknits Method pattern.

Before Purchasing This Pattern

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. Sarah features the signature Cocoknits English tailoring with the front/back join pushed to the back, and a modified worksheet is included with the pattern..
