Emma Versions A and B is a great introduction for knitters who are new to the Cocoknits Method. With simple stockinette and a gauge of 3 stitches to 1” / 2.5 cm, it knits up quickly and wears like a comfy knitted sweatshirt. Don’t let the simplicity fool you - there’s plenty of room to play! Choose the open v-neck of Version A or the boatneck of Version B; knit it with long or short sleeves; add waist shaping; use a thinner yarn at the same gauge for a drapey, cool fabric - the customizations are limitless. This updated edition has a wider range of sizes (33.25-73.25” / 84.5-186.5 cm bust), modified sleeve shaping, and an optional ribbed collar for Version A. Pattern is available in English, French, and Italian.
