Cardi Cocoon is a soft, fluffy coat with a simple but refined braid pattern. It's being worked from top to bottom. First the neck visor is knitted on the neck, then the upper part of the back. Thereafter, for the fitting of the front parts along the shoulders, new stitches are knitted out. The back and fore-end parts come together at the lower arm cutouts, and knitting is done back and forth over all the stitches of the body up to the lower aperture. Finally, stitches for the sleeves are picked up on the arm cutouts, which are then knitted round.
