Bergitte Pattern
I love this flowery yoke so much, I made three. The cropped, boxy fit and 3/4 length sleeves make Bergitte perfect for spring or cool summer evenings. It’s a super quick knit. Also includes instructions for a short-sleeve summer top knit with cotton. Knit bottom up with one size needle (in a 32-inch circular and Flexiflips for the sleeves). I knit Bergitte with a 4mm, but please swatch to find the perfect needle for you to get gauge. Knit with Brooklyn Tweed Shelter 5 (5,6,7,7,8,9) skeins of Camper and 1 (1,1,1,1,12) skeins of Tallow, knit at 4.5 stitches per inch.
