Eva

**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]!** **Eva** is a lightweight, cropped cardigan. It has a relaxed fit with slightly dropped shoulders and wide-bodied ease. The ribbed neckbands are worked simultaneously with the upper cardigan, then split off and finished separately to become front ties that can be knotted or left to hang. The sides are split from just under the armholes, giving the fabric movement and swing. Because you are working from the top down, you can easily add more length to the body and/or sleeves if desired. Just be sure to buy more yarn. ______________________________________________ **BEFORE PURCHASING THIS PATTERN** This sweater is worked using the **Cocoknits Method**, a commonsense system for knitting seamless, tailored sweaters from the top down.
