A Verb for Keeping Warm
Verb x Cocoknits KAL: Beatriz
Join us for our first knit-a-long of 2025: Beatriz by Cocoknits!
There are two ways to join us and receive a FREE Beatriz pattern:
1. Purchase one of our Everyday + Frond yarn bundles for Beatriz
2. Sign up for the Knit-a-Long by adding it to your cart.
~ OR ~
1. Purchase at least 5 skeins of Everyday yarn.
2. Sign up for the Knit-a-Long by adding it to your cart.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Beatriz will be released January 31, 2025. A link to the free pattern will be provided then.

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. In the photos, the model has around 8" / 20 cm of positive ease. Julie of Cocoknits wears hers with 14" / 35.5 cm of positive 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!
(Please note the sample shown is NOT knit out of Bread & Butter Everyday and is only an example of what we will be knitting.)
