Jesse is inspired by the classic Irish fisherman’s sweater and uses the Cocoknits Method. The cables are worked over the front, back, and sleeves, with moss stitch on the sides and underarms. The cozy ribbed shawl collar crosses and joins at the base of the neck. The sleeves are worked straight with no decreases until the cuff, for fullness, but instructions for how to decrease are included if you prefer a tapered fit. A fun and challenging knit for cozy winter evenings, Jesse is a stunning sweater that will bring you joy (and compliments) for years to come.
