Visit our ‘Knit Tutorials’ page for helpful tips and techniques for knitting [here][1]. Learn more about the Cocoknits Method [here][2]. Check out our helpful Tools & Accessories [here][3]! Meet **Toni**, the Cocoknits Method version of our popular Antonia/ Antonio pattern. It’s a V-Neck cardigan with customization options galore! There are two types of incorporated button bands (Version A: garter, Version B: rib), two types of color-blocking, two types of pockets (Version A: knitted as you go, Version B incorporated with bottom front ribbing), and two different lengths. Pick and choose the parts you like to make it your own! Directions for optional bust darts using short-row shaping are written into the pattern. The bust darts help keep the lines from riding up so the color blocking remains horizontal and gives a bit more ease on the cardigan Fronts. With endless variations, get ready to knit this pattern more than once. ______________________________________________ **BEFORE PURCHASING THIS PATTERN** This sweater is worked using the [**Cocoknits Method**,][4] a commonsense system for knitting seamless, tailored sweaters from the top down.
