Kokomo Sweater English

Kokomo Sweater Knitting Pattern (English)

Kokomo Sweater is a raglan model in a decorative mesh pattern with a relaxed fit and extra-long ribbing on both sleeves and body. The rib at the neck is folded double for an extra beautiful finish.

The sweater is worked top down and has short rows by the neck to make the neckline deeper at the front for a nice fit. Increases are made around three raglan stitches in stockinette across the yoke until the work is divided for body and sleeves. Thus, the measurements of the sweater can easily be adjusted. 

Size guide

The model is meant to have a positive ease of 6-10 cm. This means you should choose the size, measuring 6- 10 cm more than your chest measurement. If you have a bust measuring 96 cm you should choose a size M. The mesh pattern is very elastic and will expand a lot. All measurements are of work laid flat.
