Top 8 Berroco Patterns to Make as Gifts  

Ah yes, the weather is chilling down here in New England and the season of knitting gifts for our loved ones is upon us. If you’re anything like me, I must strategically plan my production schedule for each family member, taking into consideration the time and price per project. Here’s our top 8 patterns that your family will love to have, and you’ll love to make.  

1. Big Echo 

For the Outdoor Adventurer 

Made with Ultra Alpaca Chunky, this hat only takes a single hank! Talk about a straight forward price per project. The lines are all bold and simple, designed specifically to stand out in a chunky yarn. Big Echo is a quick and easy gift-knit for the winter adventurer in your life! 

2. Aitana 

For the Sophisticated Fashionista 

Vests are IN, people! And thank goodness for that. Aitana is a ribbed vest with a funnel neck and drop shoulders that makes for a fabulous layering piece. Aitana is made with Fika, our superwash fine-merino yarn, which is now available in a new space-dye colorway. This garment is worked in the round from the bottom up, making for a smooth and easy gift-knitting experience.  

3. Fetch 

For the Furry Friend 

Your  loved ones can keep their furry friends warm this winter with our Doggo-Design: Fetch! Fetch is an adorable dog sweater that has optional colorwork to match the hooman sweaters from our fall Portfolio collection, Piquet or Durak. 

4. Summit 

For the Creative 

Have fun playing with bright bobbles in Dash for the color-lover in your life! Worked from the bottom up, the cowl features slight shaping and fun colorful bobbles, making it the perfect accessory for your most outgoing and creative friend. This pattern uses only 2 balls of Dash. 

5. Noddy 

For the Dads 

A classic hat with modern shaping made from the bottom up is the perfect classic dad gift. With two versions to make, you’ll be able to select the perfect style for the father figure in your life. Version 1 uses the seeded rib as an allover pattern and features a turned-up brim. For a subtle flair of fun, version 2 of the Noddy hat breaks up the seeded rib pattern with purled welts. This pattern can be made in many of the classic Berroco yarns including Ultra Wool, Lanas, and Ultra Alpaca.  

6. Enoki 

For the Cold 

We all have that one friend or family member who is… probably iron deficient, being that they are ALWAYS chilly! Enoki in Talara is the perfect snuggly combination to gift to that little polar bear in your life. This sophisticated piece is a large triangular shawl, worked end-to-end in garter stitch, with a knitted-on edging to add just a touch of texture with fun shapes.  

7. Drew 

For the Little One 

Drew is a darling romper made with Berroco Ultra Wool Fine in charming stripes leading to a seed stitch bib that’ll be perfect for the little one in your life. Button closures make this a perfect piece for that sweet babe needing extra warmth.

8.  Samara 

For the Self 😉  

You deserve a big cozy cardigan, end of story. After a whole season of making for others, don’t forget to use your talent to also treat yourself! This classic yet trendy cardigan is made with Berroco Ultra Wool Chunky, a soft 100% superwash wool yarn. 

Happy Gifting!
