Cocoon Chokki Kit｜Noriko Ichikawa

Cocoon Chokki is a top-down, loose-fitting vest designed for a relaxed and comfortable everyday look.The word "Chokki" is a nostalgic Japanese term meaning "vest," adding a touch of warmth and classic charm to this piece. The key design elements of this vest include its wide mock-neck and overall rounded silhouette, which gently envelop the shoulders and body—creating a cocoon-like shape that offers a cozy and effortless wearing experience.

Knitting starts from the back shoulder piece and continues down to the underarm. Then, stitches for the front piece are picked up from the back shoulder and worked back and forth until reaching the underarm, where the front and back pieces are joined. The knitting then continues in the round down to the hem. The ribbed neckline is worked in the round from picked-up stitches at the collar.

With this construction, you can flexibly adjust the depth of the armhole according to your personal wearing habits and needs, ensuring a comfortable range of motion for your arms.

This vest is knitted with our ultra-light Feathery Yak, offering exceptional warmth while remaining virtually weightless—just like yak down fiber does for yaks. By holding two strands together, you can create a rich interplay of colors, adding depth, dimension, and visual interest to the simple design. Feel free to experiment with different color combinations to achieve your own custom contrast effects.
