Forêt Yarn Kit

The forêt pullover by Eri is a gorgeous design inspired by a favourite book from Eri's childhood in collaboration with Kokon Yarn.

forêt is worked from the top down. The neck is worked first back and forth with increases, then the fronts are joined together at the tip of the V. The yoke is worked in the round until the sleeves and body are seperated at the underarm. The sleeves are also worked top-down in the round. You can choose from two different finishes for the hem, cuffs and neck.
