Filling out the Cocoknits Worksheet

At the end of Section 3 you should have placed 6 colorful stitch markers to separate each section of your sweater. These stitch markers correspond with the colored vertical lines on the columns of the Cocoknits Worksheet. Each color marks the sections of your sweater: left front, left sleeve, back, right sleeve, and right front.

Now that you're familiar with the layout, the pattern will direct how to fill out your worksheet. For each increase, add a plus or check mark (+1). You can see an example of a completed sheet here. Now that it's filled out, rather than juggling multiple increases in your head, it's all easy to see, line by line. 

• You can find one Cocoknits Worksheet at the back of the Cocoknits Sweater Workshop and one at the end of each pattern that uses it. If you need another page we recommend purchasing our Sweater Worksheet Journal. Photocopying often doesn't work well because of the thin lines. You may also take a photo of the worksheet to print.
• If you need more rows to fill out your worksheet, simply continue on to a new page. 
• Future project: you can also use Cocoknits Worksheets to plan out any other seamless yoked sweater patterns to simplify multiple-increase instructions.

• A pencil with a good eraser. (check out our Recycled Paper Pencils with a bamboo sharpener) Mistakes happen to the best of us and pens are not as forgiving. 
• Maker's Board (Optional: to keep track of which row you're working on.)
• Maker's Keep (Optional: lay it flat and slide the magnetic square over to an edge. Use it as a reading guide to keep clear which line of the pattern you’re working on.)
• Knitting Row Counter (Optional: to keep track of progress.)
• Sweater Worksheet Journal (Optional: for extra sheets and so all your Worksheets are saved in one place.)

• COCOKNITS SWEATER WORKSHEET (You'll find an example of a filled out Worksheet on this page.)
