KOKKO means bonfire in Finnish. This was my inspiration for the undulating cable pattern of the sweater. It reminds me of feeling warm, comfortable and slightly sleepy-hypnotised by looking at the flames of a fire. 

The sweater is worked from bottom to top in the round until the underarms. Then, the front and back are separated and worked separately flat. They are seamed at the shoulders using the 3-needle bind off technique. The collar and armhole edgings are picked up and worked in the round. All lengths can be customised but keep in mind that this will affect the yardage.
