Vintage Berries is a summer top with a square neckline and broad straps in a nostalgic pattern. In colder weather it looks decorative under a button up shirt. It is knit in the round from the bottom up. It is wider along the hemline and slimmer on top creating a gentle A line.

Techniques included in pattern are eyelet, cable and bubble knit. All techniques are described and linked to video tutorials.

Available sizes range from XS-XL.

Gauge is 20 stitches / 27 rows on 4 mm needles, providing for many yarn options. The top on the picture is knit in Leonora by Permin, containing 50% silk, 40% wool, and 10% mohair, but it looks nice in pure cotton yarn as well as merino yarns as well.

For Leonora yarn (25 grams per skein) you will need between 6-7 skeins. For Merci cotton yarn you will need 3-4 skeins.

Materials needed are knitting 4 mm circular and double pointed needles.
