Copacetic is a relaxed Saddle Shoulder Ziggurat with fabulous stripes and fine details.
Play with the stripes or stay monochrome.
The simple rib collar can be knit narrower or be elongated to a full turtle neck.
A split lined hem gives your hips free play and makes sure your sweater doesn’t rest on your bum.

  • Saddle Ziggurat: everything is knitted in one go, top to bottom
  • no seaming
  • very few ends to weave in
  • 2-row stripes
  • split hip-friendly hem

As usual, there’s the Helpful Table to keep track of increases from shoulder to underarm cast-on.
