KoKo Sweater Kit – 100% Merino Fingering Weight

Price range: $126.00 through $186.00

The Koko sweater kit is a circular yoke pullover worked from the top-down. Koko’s back hem is worked longer with short rows. The sleeves are also worked top-down.  We have paired this sweater, designed by Eri Shimizu, with our McKenzie 3 ply 100% merino wool fingering weight yarn. McKenzie’s high twist will provide a nice finish and help slow down any naturally occurring pilling.  This sweater is the perfect weight for this 100% merino wool fingering weight yarn.  We are offering 10 different color choices for this sweater.

Skeins:  xs-sm 8, md-lrg 10, xl-2xl 12
