The Renee Sweater by Cocoknits, featuring AVFKW Dawn yarn is a slouchy, oversized sweatshirt with exaggerated proportions. The armholes are extra-deep, the sleeve circumference starts out very large, and the body length is slightly cropped. The bottom edge is turned up and finished with a three-needle bind off on the right side, creating a casing for a drawstring cord. Knit out of AVFKW Dawn, a blend of wool and cotton, this pullover is easy to wear in temperate weather.

:
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, Renee does not require the Cocoknits Worksheet. The book is recommended but not required.
