Berroco Zira PDF

Berroco Zira is a cozy tunic with an intriguing combination of elegant lace, a deep v-neckline, and a drop-shoulder fit. This long pullover is worked in the round from the bottom up the other underarms, where the back and front divide and are knit flat separately before being seamed together at the shoulders. Zira’s slightly belled sleeves are also knit in the round from the bottom up with lace trim echoing the body, and are seamed to the armholes during finishing. Berroco Renew blends recycled and sustainable sourced fibers to create a velvety soft yarn that you can feel good about and feel good in. Zira is a dynamite choice for your must-knit list with its cozy feel that can pair with dress pants for work or an evening out as easily as it can with leggings for a night on the couch. Lace pattern is written out only.
