Berthie slipover – PDF

Description

Meet Berthie: 

Berthie is a classic and elegant slipover, perfect for layering during cooler days. It is knitted from top to bottom, starting with the back worked flat, followed by the front, also worked flat. The two pieces are then joined under the arms to continue knitting in the round, creating a fluid and comfortable silhouette. The addition of the Tartan stitch pattern adds texture and style. Berthie is not only a rewarding project for intermediate knitters but also a versatile piece that can be worn on many occasions.
