Eva by Cocoknits, features AVFKW Flock yarn, and is a lightweight, cropped cardigan. It has a relaxed fit with slightly dropped shoulders and gentle ease. The left and right sides of the ribbed neckband is 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.
Flock is a fingering weight yarn made of U.S. wool. Julie of Cocoknits chose Sun-Dappled Marble to knit her sample. At the mill, every so often they warp Flock's white core with a piece of grey wool, resulting in natural undulating waves of grey and white yarn while knitting. While flecks of gold from our California-grown marigold petals float throughout the piece.
You can also purchase this bundle in the color Lighthouse, for an elegant, solid-colored sweater.
