Sarah

**Sarah** is a perfect in-between seasons jacket - just right for cool days in lieu of a coat. The half-fisherman rib is not quite as condensed as full fisherman rib, resulting in a lofty, slightly puffy fabric. Dramatic angled, drop-shoulders and oversized pockets make Sarah fun to knit and even more fun to wear! **Before Purchasing This Pattern** This pattern uses a modified COCOKNITS METHOD, with the shoulder join dropped to the back. The sleeves, however, are picked up and knitted down from the armhole opening rather than as a seamless yoke. Although this pattern features the signature Cocoknits English tailoring with the front/back join pushed to the back, Sarah does not require the Cocoknits Worksheet. The pattern includes a checklist for keeping track of instructions by row. **Special Techniques** For a description of all techniques, see Cocoknits Sweater Workshop, the glossary at cocoknits.com, and/or the Cocoknits channel at youtube.com. The COCOKNITS METHOD is 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. All of the page numbers in this pattern refer to the pages in Cocoknits Sweater Workshop, where the techniques are explained in detail. **[CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE COCOKNITS SWEATER WORKSHOP][1] or visit your local yarn store.** **Sizes** Small (Medium, Large, 1X, 2X, 3X) *Finished Measurements* *Finished Bust (closed)*: 51 (55, 58.75, 62.75, 65, 71)” / 127.5 (137.5, 147, 157, 162.5, 177.5) cm, after blocking *Finished Length:* 22 (23.5, 25, 26.5, 28, 30)” / 56 (60, 63.5, 67.5, 71, 76) cm, after blocking **Materials** *Yarn* 1400 (1550, 1650, 1800, 1950, 2050) yards / 1280 (1417, 1510, 1646, 1785, 1875) meters of dk weight yarn. *Shown in:* Fibre Co Lore 100% Romney Lambswool; 273 yds / 250 m per 3.5 oz / 100 g skein 6 (6, 6, 7, 8, 8) skeins in Happiness (gold) A Verb For Keeping Warm Horizon 100% Organic California Merino; 160 yds / 147m per 1.76 oz / 50 g hank 9 (10, 11, 12, 12, 13) skeins in Tree Fort (tan), Lighthouse (ivory), Pacific Sailor (blue) Romney Marsh Wools British Merino DK Yarn 100% British Merino; 190 yds / 174 m per 3.5 oz / 100 g skein 8 (9, 9, 10, 11, 12) skeins natural, custom dyed by Woolmatters Natural Dye Works Green Mountain Spinnery Mewesic 100% Fine Wool; 180 yds / 165 m per 2 oz / 57 g skein 8 (9, 10, 10, 11, 12) skeins in Mean Mr Mustard (green gold) *Needles* US 6 / 4 mm (or size needed to obtain gauge) circular needle 40” / 100 cm or longer US 5 / 3.75 mm (or size needed to obtain gauge) circular needle 32”/ 80 cm to work magic loop on sleeves, or dpns US 0–2 / 2–2.25 mm circular or long dpn for Jeny's stretchy BO and picking up sts. *Notions* Colorful ring stitch markers (2 red, 2 orange, 4 blue) A couple of general stitch markers, color not important 8 opening stitch markers (to hang in a stitch rather than on the needle) ROW COUNTER (optional, but helpful) 4 1” buttons *Gauge* 14 sts and 33 rows / rnds in 4” / 10 cm square over Half Fisherman Rib (HFR) and US 6 / 4 mm needle. **NOTE: It is important that you knit and wet-block your swatch because the Half Fisherman Rib fabric can change drastically when blocked.
