Julie Weisenberger of Cocoknits might be best known for her women's sweater designs, but her baby designs are just as stylish and well-designed. We knit Baby Coco in our Loop Flora in the fresh and lively Fern colorway, and the results are fantastic!
Flora is everything you want in a worsted-weight yarn: soft, springy, and beautifully hand-dyed for depth and dimension. Its smooth twist gives crisp stitch definition, while the 100% superwash merino provides cozy next-to-skin comfort and easy care—ideal for knits the whole family will love.
Julie’s Cocoknits Method is known for producing sweaters with a fantastic fit. Baby Coco is a “mini” version of her system—perfect if you’ve been curious but aren’t ready to commit to a full-sized sweater. The pattern uses a color-coded worksheet to track your progress step by step, making top-down sweater knitting approachable and fun. Neck, shoulders, and yoke are shaped together for a smooth, modern silhouette that’s never boxy.
For knitters who want to dive deeper, the Cocoknits Sweater Workshop book explains the method in detail, with full-size adult sweater patterns to explore once you’ve mastered Baby Coco.
We especially love the thoughtful touches Julie includes: a cozy little grandpa-style shawl collar, sweet pockets, and even the option of a delicate lace panel below the armholes.
