Berroco
Emmi designed by Amy Christoffers is a knitted women’s v-neck cardigan with a
lace striped bodice and set-in balloon sleeves using Arno. The body is worked
from the bottom up in one piece with an allover lace pattern. The sleeves are
worked in the round from the cuff to the underarm; then the sleeve caps are
worked back and forth in rows. Arno from Berroco is a fantastic blend of cotton
and Merino wool perfect for cool weather sweaters. Arno has a gorgeous sheen
and soft hand with an interesting construction—the wool fibers are blown into a
cotton mesh tube, resulting in lighter than air fabrics that have incredible
warmth. The lace pattern is in chart form only.
