This is the meeting place for testers of the machine knit Costa Pullover.

Costa is a sideways knit, one-piece construction that finishes at high hip. The fitted silhouette is juxtaposed against playful, voluminous ¾ length sleeves that take shape through a series of short rows. You begin knitting the sweater at center back, working your way around until you reach the center back again. 1x1 rib trim is added to the cuffs, hem and neckline. It all comes together with a pronounced center back seam.
