Berroco Mochi

Berroco Mochi Knitting Pattern Collection

Yarn Fiber Content and Specifications

Berroco Mochi is a premium baby alpaca, wool, and nylon blend yarn composed of 37% baby alpaca, 35% nylon, 26% fine merino wool, and 2% other fiber. This heavy worsted weight yarn is spun as a chainette yarn, providing an easy-to-work construction. Each 50-gram ball yields 191 yards of fiber. The yarn features subtle speckled colors that create soft, lightweight, and warm finished garments and accessories. Care instructions recommend hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry.

Varennes Scarf

The Varennes Scarf demonstrates a multi-panel construction technique. The center panel is worked lengthwise from end to end using a long-tail cast-on method with 20 stitches, continuing for 36 rows to create 18 garter ridges. After completing the center panel, side panels are constructed by picking up stitches along the side edges of the center panel and working outward. This approach allows knitters to create dimensional scarves with interesting textural variation while managing stitch counts efficiently.

Gracefield Pullover

The Gracefield Pullover is a garment design worked in Berroco Mochi yarn, showcasing how the chainette yarn and speckled colorways create visually interesting knitwear suitable for everyday wear.
