Tracy

$10.00 USD

Tracy is a classic hoodie with handknit charm. The hood is worked from the top down with a neat I-cord edging (and room for an optional drawstring) and is then knit seamlessly into the signature Cocoknits Method. The cozy front pocket is picked up from the body and incorporated with a three-needle join. Two short sections of the pocket lining are whip stitched to the inside of the sweater. The split ribbed hem provides extra movement and comfort at the hips. Although Julie doesn’t like to wear hoods herself, her long-time friend and Cocoknits team member, Tracy, loves a good hoodie. It was only fitting that our first hooded sweatshirt be named after her!

This is a Cocoknits Method pattern.

Before Purchasing This Pattern

This sweater is worked using the Cocoknits Method, a commonsense system for knitting seamless, tailored sweaters from the top down. The Cocoknits Method is explained in detail in Cocoknits Sweater Workshop by Julie Weisenberger, in her On Demand Classes, and in tutorials on cocoknits.com.

All of the page numbers in this pattern refer to pages in Cocoknits Sweater Workshop, where the techniques are explained in detail. Some knitters find that they can learn the new-to-them techniques with our free knit tutorials, while others are more comfortable purchasing an On Demand Class, or the Cocoknits Sweater Workshop book, available on our website and at many local yarn stores.
