Quick Knit: Nanaimo Cardigan with Berroco Macro Yarn

Leave a reply

Nanaimo in Macro

Erica made a Nanaimo cardigan with the Berroco Macro that’s currently on Sale. I know it’s past the season for thick sweaters, but it turned out beautifully and I thought you’d want to see it (plus I know some of you can’t get into summer knits, you skip over the season and start your fall knitting as soon as you hear the word “cotton”). Erica made the XL/XXL and used 4 skeins, so I think the very thick yarn went the extra distance! Thank you Erica!

Berroco Macro is a very soft, super bulky yarn that knits up very quickly on 15mm/US19 needles. It’s been discontinued, so don’t wait on this one because it won’t be around forever, but it also means that we can provide it at a discount and share the savings.

Nanaimo is knit in the easy top-down raglan style using circular needles for a seamless simple construction. This may be the fastest sweater your ever knit!

The pattern has been updated and includes a Companion PDF for all Good Night, Day top-down sweater patterns. This guide includes instructions for adding German Short Rows, an alternative to separating and picking up sleeves, and an Italian sewn bind-off tutorial complete with photos.
