Berroco Vento Cardigan Crochet Pattern

Berroco Vento Yarn Collection: Complete Pattern Summary

About Berroco Vento Yarn

Berroco Vento is a sophisticated modern yarn composed of 50% Baby Alpaca, 40% Acrylic, and 10% Merino Wool. Each ball contains 219 yards per 50 grams. This yarn is specifically designed to create light, airy garments and warm, soft accessories with beautiful drape. The silky soft baby alpaca component gives the yarn a gorgeous halo effect with a subtle two-tone appearance that enhances jewel tones and creates depth in elevated neutral colorways. The yarn is machine washable in cold water on a delicate cycle, making it practical for everyday wear.

Abril Cardigan

The Abril Cardigan is a knit design created by Alison Green at an intermediate skill level. This sophisticated cardigan is worked in one piece to the underarms, then divided for the back and fronts, with shoulders sewn together before sleeves are picked up and worked down in the round. The construction method ensures a seamless, professional finish.

Gauge: 19 stitches and 26 rows equal 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch and pattern stitch using larger needles, measured after blocking.

Finished Measurements: Available in multiple sizes with bust measurements ranging from 36 inches to 73 inches (91.5 cm to 185.5 cm) and lengths from 20 inches to 23.5 inches (51 cm to 59.5 cm).

Materials: The pattern requires Berroco Vento yarn, appropriate knitting needles, waste yarn to hold stitches, and six 5/8-inch (16 mm) buttons for closure.

Stitches and Techniques: The cardigan features stockinette stitch as the primary stitch pattern, with special cable abbreviations including CB3 (slip 2 stitches to cable needle and hold in back, knit 1, knit 2 from cable needle) and CF3 (slip 1 stitch to cable needle and hold in front, knit 2, knit 1 from cable needle). These cable techniques add visual interest and texture to the design.
