Elliott is a classic zippered cardigan that uses the same Cocoknits Method hood construction as our Tracy pullover. The hood is worked top down with a neat I-cord edging that has room for an optional drawstring. The base of the hood is incorporated seamlessly into the signature Cocoknits Method upper back and shoulders. Zip hoodies can be oversized or fitted and everything in between, but they are always a cozy wardrobe staple, made better by pockets! These angled pockets are worked into the body nearly seamlessly and finished using a three-needle join. The body is finished with a simple, stretchy bind off after joining the pockets to the body. The cuffs feature an optional reverse stockinette sleeve cuff detail.

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.
