Berroco Charmion (Free)

Berroco Charmion is a women’s sweater knit in Summer Silk. Knitting begins at the bottom with an easy four-row lace repeat—just decrease stitches and yarnovers! Shaping is achieved through changing needle sizes as you go for a smooth A-line shape. The sleeves are worked separately before joining the body in a circular yoke. There aren’t too many things in the world that are softer than Berroco Summer Silk. This versatile DK weight blend of silk, cotton, and nylon has a gorgeous chainette construction, giving it strength and structure. The lace pattern is in written form only.
