Berroco Tiramisu

Berroco Tiramisu Knitting Pattern Collection

About Berroco Tiramisu Yarn

Berroco Tiramisu is a light worsted weight yarn that combines 38% Wool, 28% Acrylic, 23% Superkid Mohair, and 11% Silk. This blend creates a beautiful color flow with a soft halo effect characteristic of mohair. The yarn features self-striping colors that transition from brights to dark tones, producing visually interesting fabric without requiring color changes. Each ball contains 137 yards per 50 grams. Care instructions recommend hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry.

Gauge and Essential Tools

The standard gauge for projects in this collection is 21 stitches and 27 rows equals 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch on the larger needle. Accurate gauge is critical for proper fit and finished measurements. Essential tools include knitting needles in appropriate sizes, a crochet hook (size E / 3.5 mm for the crocheted design), stitch markers, a tapestry needle for finishing, and waste yarn for holding stitches.

Arietta Sweater

The Arietta Sweater is a knitted garment worked in two sections from the side. This construction method allows for interesting shaping and seaming details. The design showcases the self-striping qualities of Berroco Tiramisu yarn, with the color transitions creating natural visual interest throughout the garment.

Elmira Poncho

The Elmira Poncho is a knitted design that demonstrates how Berroco Tiramisu's color-flowing properties work in a larger, draped garment. Ponchos are typically worked in sections or in the round, allowing the striping pattern to create dynamic visual effects across the fabric.

Rochelle Shawl

The Rochelle Shawl is a knitted accessory that takes advantage of the yarn's soft halo and self-striping characteristics. Shawls allow the color transitions in Tiramisu to be displayed prominently, with the flowing colors creating depth and dimension in the finished piece.

Avoca Scarf

The Avoca Scarf is the only crocheted design in this collection, worked with a size E / 3.5 mm crochet hook. This accessory demonstrates Berroco Tiramisu's versatility across different fiber crafts. The self-striping yarn creates beautiful color transitions in crochet stitches, producing a finished piece with natural visual interest.

Canton Pullover

The Canton Pullover is a knitted garment featuring a classic pullover silhouette. This design allows the self-striping color flow of Berroco Tiramisu to create continuous pattern interest across the body, sleeves, and neckline without requiring stranded colorwork or color changes.

Knitting Techniques and Construction

The patterns in this collection employ various knitting construction methods suited to different garment types. Side-to-side construction, as seen in the Arietta Sweater, creates unique shaping possibilities. Stockinette stitch serves as the primary stitch structure, providing a smooth fabric that allows the yarn's color transitions and mohair halo to shine. The collection demonstrates how a single yarn can be used across multiple garment styles—from fitted cardigans and pullovers to draped ponchos and shawls—each showcasing different aspects of the yarn's characteristics.
