Beatriz is designed with wide, dropped shoulders, which are created using decorative, cabled increases. This adds a sweet, subtle detail to the back shoulders of the sweater. It also features deep ribbing on the hem of the body and sleeves and a wide, ribbed button band.

The silhouette is oversized; it’s up to you HOW oversized! Choose anywhere from 4"/2.5cm to 16"/10cm ease. Are you aiming for a coat type cardigan that fits over everything? Go with more ease! Or do you want a closer fitting cardigan? Or something in between? Try measuring some similar items in your wardrobe to help inform the size you’ll knit... and then dive in!

We have created a limited number of special bundles for this KAL including the Frond bonbons. There are two options of colorways: rich green Deep Valley paired with cool tones of neutrals, greens, and blues and dark brown Porcini paired with warm tones of mauve, pink, and bright speckles of orangey-yellow.

Kristine is knitting her Beatriz out of the Everyday dark green Deep Valley bundle and adding little flecks of fluffy Frond sporadically throughout my sweater. Please see the photo of the swatch as reference. (She will give further instructions in the following blog post.) 

The combination of Everyday with little bits of Frond is a match made in heaven. Everyday is made of soft U.S. Merino wool. Each color is blended prior to spinning creating a heathered, gorgeous yarn. Frond is a radiant beam of halo and glow, due to its content of mohair and silk. Light as a cloud, with a fluffy halo of mohair surrounding a strong silk core.

All of this being said, going with 100% Everyday is also a great option!

Knit-a-longs are a great way to learn new skills, learn from others who are also participating, and are very motivating, which means that there is a good chance you will complete your project, and you can win gift cards to Verb!

The KAL starts Jan 31 and goes through March 3, 2025!
