Kiki
Who doesn’t love a textural cable knit for casual coffee dates and weekend hangouts? Kiki is knit seamless, including the ribbed collar. Optional pockets are lined with fabric to reduce bulk, but you could line them with knitting if you prefer. The ribbed sleeve keeps the silhouette slim.

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.
