About Berroco Pixel Yarn

Berroco Pixel is a 100% superwash wool worsted-weight yarn offered in 328-yard hanks per 100 grams. The yarn features a distinctive speckled dye effect that creates visual interest in finished projects. As a machine-washable fiber, Pixel is designed for easy care—simply machine wash and tumble dry on delicate cycle. The generous yardage and superwash treatment make this yarn particularly well-suited for baby and child garment patterns.

Matilda Sweater

Matilda is an intermediate-level knit garment designed by Amy Christoffers. This pullover sweater showcases the speckled beauty of Berroco Pixel yarn and demonstrates classic construction techniques.

Construction and Techniques: Matilda is worked using fundamental knitting methods including flat knitting for the body and sleeves. The garment features ribbed edging worked in a knit 2, purl 2 (k2, p2) pattern to create elastic cuffs and waistband. Shaping is accomplished through strategic decreasing, including knit 2 together (k2tog) and slip, slip, knit (SSK) decreases worked on right-side rows to create tapered sleeves and fitted armholes.

Stitch Details: The pattern employs stockinette stitch as the primary fabric, combined with k2, p2 ribbing at the cuffs and hem. Decreases are worked symmetrically using markers to maintain balanced shaping on both sides of the garment.

Materials: Matilda is knit using Berroco Pixel yarn in 100% superwash wool, worked on both smaller and larger needles to create the ribbed and stockinette sections respectively.
