Andie by Cocoknits | Andie is everything you love about a classic pullover but with plenty of added personality. Dramatic drop shoulders, full sleeves, and an oversized fit make this a super comfy sweater. It features little cable increases along the back shoulder which is constructed using the Cocoknits Method and finished with 2×2 ribbing. Top-down and seamless, this pattern is a pretty straightforward knit, but the results are anything but ordinary.
