Berroco Copperfield PDF

Strong design lines pop against a textured two-color background in Berroco Copperfield, creating a pullover loaded with interesting details. This seamless sweater is worked from the top down, with the funnel neck and shoulder shaping worked in the round before completing the front and back pieces flat to the underarms. There the sweater joins to work in the round to the hem with brioche stripes at the center and two-color garter stitch as the background. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole and continue the shoulder accent stripes all the way down to the wrist. The casual drop-shoulder silhouette of Copperfield gets a big boost of style from the stitch patterns as well as the fluffy, colorful Mistico yarn that lends its warmth and tweedy depth for additional interest. Feel cozy, cute, and collected with Copperfield in your handmade wardrobe—and a bit like a magician in your own right with the showstopping texture of this sweater!
