 The new booklet, #318 features eight beautiful warm weather patterns designed by the very talented Norah Gaughan, Amanda Keep and Berroco Design Team.  Here are two of our favorites:

A wide drawstring encircles the neckline of the Frascati cardigan with short raglan sleeves, giving the option to tie it at the front or leave open.  We have this design hanging up in the shop, come in and try it on!  Knit in size small using 8 skeins.

 

 Giulia is one of my favorites.  A modern poncho with raglan sleeves, open stitches and a nice wide ribbed edging.  Pictured is the XS/S, 9 skeins.

Pern, a free pattern from Berroco is a relaxed tee knit mostly in garter with slipped stitches creating shaping and detail.  A very wearable top for warmer weather!  So many cute tops to make.  This yarn would also make the most lovely cowl or scarf.
