Berroco Fuji Knitting Pattern

Berroco Fuji Knit Patterns

This downloadable PDF from Berroco presents five distinct knit designs crafted from Berroco Fuji yarn, a sophisticated blend ideal for warm-weather garments. The collection was designed by the Berroco Design Team, including Norah Gaughan and Amanda Keep, with technical editing by Brenda York.

Yarn Composition and Properties

Berroco Fuji is a machine-washable yarn composed of 38% Silk, 25% Cotton, 22% Rayon, and 15% Nylon. Each skein weighs 1.75 oz / 50g. The fiber blend creates compelling texture and sophisticated drape, making it particularly well-suited for garments designed to be worn in warm weather. The yarn should be machine washed and laid flat to dry to maintain its quality.

Gauge and Needle Requirements

Projects worked in Berroco Fuji are designed to achieve a gauge of 5 stitches = 1 inch and 20 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches. These measurements are achieved using US size 7 needles (4.5mm).

Pattern Structure and Techniques

Instructions include row-by-row guidance with stitch counts for multiple sizes, decreasing techniques such as knit two together (k2tog), and marker placement for shaping. The patterns feature pocket placement and armhole shaping typical of fitted garment construction. Knitters are advised to read through all instructions before beginning and to consult the pattern corrections page at www.berroco.com/pattern_corrections.html for the latest updates.

Sizing and Fit

The patterns are graded across multiple sizes, with stitch counts ranging from 46 to 80 stitches depending on the size selected. Finished measurements and length specifications are provided for each design to ensure proper fit.
