Mimi Zip Up
The Mimi Zipup is a raglan knit jacket. Knit flat with cable detailing down each arm. It is knit top down with a folded collar and raglan increases. The knit is then split for the body and arms are set to rest on scrap yarn. The body is then worked and then each sleeve. An Icord edge is worked along the front opening to hold the zipper.
