Berroco Nomad Knitting Pattern Collection

About Berroco Nomad Yarn

Berroco Nomad is a premium bulky-weight yarn that combines 72% extrafine merino wool with 28% camel hair, creating a fiber blend that is exceptionally warm and cozy. This unique composition allows the yarn to knit and crochet quickly, making it ideal for crafting fashionable garments and accessories in minimal time. Each 50-gram ball contains 77 yards of yarn. The fiber care is simple: hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry, ensuring your finished projects maintain their quality and softness.

Isadora Scarf

The Isadora Scarf is a knitted accessory that showcases the beautiful drape and warmth of Berroco Nomad yarn. This pattern employs classic lace and shaping techniques to create visual interest and texture.

Techniques and Stitches: The Isadora Scarf uses fundamental knitting stitches including knit (K), purl (P), yarn overs (yo), and decreases such as slip-slip-knit (SSK), knit two together (k2tog), purl two together (p2tog), and slip-slip-purl (SSP). These decreases and yarn overs work together to create lace patterning. The scarf begins with a cast-on of 40 stitches and features a purl row on the wrong side before transitioning into the charted or written stitch pattern.
