Kokomo Polo Tee (Knitting Pattern English)
Kokomo Polo is a close-fitting, cropped model in a mesh pattern, with short sleeves and a polo collar. It is knitted from the top down. First, the work is knitted back and forth across the front and back pieces with increases around the shoulder stitches and towards the neck to form a sloping neckline at the front. When the shoulder seam has reached the correct length, the work is divided and the front and back pieces are worked separately. Plackets are added to the front pieces, which lead directly up into the collar, all worked in double knit. At the bottom of the front and back pieces, increases are made towards the armhole. The front and back pieces are joined and the body is worked in the round and finished with a double knit trim across the knitting direction. The sleeve is knitted as a cap sleeve, where you first knit back and forth across the top of the sleeve before joining the round and finishing with a double knit trim across the direction of knitting.
