The Cocoknits Sweater Workshop book, written by Julie Weisenberger (the Founder of Cocoknits), teaches the Cocoknits Method. This method is her proprietary system for knitting top-down seamless sweaters using English tailoring, top-down knitting, and a signature Cocoknits Method Worksheet. Julie created the Cocoknits Method to combine the excellent fit of the 3-dimensional English tailored shoulder with the flexibility of allowing knitters to try on garments as they knit and customize along the way, ultimately achieving the fit and style that they want. The color-coded worksheet she developed allows knitters to map out the yoke increases and follow them line-by-line, instead of having to deal with confusing "at the same time" directions.
The book contains 8 patterns, a detailed description of the Cocoknits Method, and step-by-step instructions for techniques used in the Cocoknits Method, such as lifted increases (KLL, KRL, PLL, PRL). All of the techniques are also available as free video tutorials on our website.
Since this book was self-published in 2017, we have sold over 60 thousand copies all over the world.
If you prefer an On Demand class to learn the method, we have the Emma A & B On Demand Class. Here is a video of Julie explaining the Cocoknits Method herself:
