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.
