Berry Jam is a seamless, top down, circular yoke sweater with delicious colorwork berries! You can choose from textured boysenberries, traditional colorwork strawberries, or mix and match the berries however your heart desire.
Knit with fingering weight yarn, this pullover is lightweight and perfect for chilly summer evenings, foggy coastal mornings, or just those times when the office air conditioning is a little too cold.
The sweater is cast on at the top, and short rows are used to shape the neckline before the colorwork begins. It has a slightly loose, comfortable fit, and options are given for both long and short sleeves. The pattern includes a photo tutorial for working the boysenberry bobbles.
Berry Jam super versatile and sure to become a summer wardrobe staple!
