Join us for our Cocoknits KAL starting January 13th ⭐

Host: Jennifer Hallan

This KAL will take place in person over eight sessions on Monday nights from 6:00 - 8:00 pm starting January 13th!

Together we will make the Molly (Version A or B).** This pattern is exclusively available through the Cocoknits Sweater Workshop book, and is a great first Cocoknits Method pattern to try. The Molly pullover is a sophisticated take on a basic sweatshirt. The simplicity of the pattern allows a beautiful yarn to take center stage. 

• The hemline of Version A ends with deep ribbing straight across the bottom, and the sleeves feature elbow patches in a contrasting color.
• The hemline of Version B curves from shorter in the front to longer in the back.

The rounded neckline is achieved with short-row shaping, which is explained in the pattern. 

**If you've already knit the Cocoknits Method and want something a little more challenging, feel free to pick another Cocoknits pattern for the KAL.**

Please note: This is not an opportunity to learn to knit or make a sweater for the first time. Check out our classes for our Introduction to Knitting and First Sweater classes.

FAQ

Are there prerequisties for the KAL?

Yes! Participants should have knit a sweater before, but it doesn't not have to have been a Cocoknits sweater. 

What is the Cocoknits Method?

The Cocoknits Method was developed by Julie Weisenberger. It is a top-down knitting method that incorporates increases at specific intervals to create 3 dimensional shaping that doesn’t require seaming when you’re done. The neck, shoulders, and yoke are created together, so the shaping is softly sloped to hug the body in a flattering way, rather than squared pieces sewn together which turn out too boxy.

Who should try the Cocoknits Method?

If you've successfully knit a sweater, but have felt like it never fits you the way you want it to, you should definitely try the Cocoknits Method!

What do I get for the registration fee?

The registration fee covers access to all six gatherings, and assistance from Jennifer at those gatherings.

Who is Julie Weisenberger?

Julie learned to knit in Europe and ran a small sweater company that sold to boutiques across the United States. Now her main focus is on designing for hand-knitters of all shapes and sizes using many of the techniques she learned in Europe and the ready-to-wear industry.

Julie has perfected the top-down, seamless method using English tailoring, which creates a flattering and perfectly fitted set-in sleeve sweater. Her simple silhouettes combined with fine yarns result in elegant, wearable designs for knitters of all abilities. In addition to designing, she develops knitting tools based on real-life experience—designed for knitters by a knitter.
