Berroco Summer Tee Favorites

Summer is here (sort of!) despite the late winter and cool spring. Grab Berroco's Pima Soft to work up warm weather projects.  Keep scrolling down for inspiration! 

It has a super soft hand, slight-slubby texture (which disappears when worked up) and washable. Great for baby things too. Delight to work with as well. 

Riviera a recent highlighted pattern. Stunning yoke in top-down construction. You can try it on as you go for a perfect fit. Works on its own or over tanks/dresses when nights turn cool.  There's a crochet version too: Tatins in similar shape and construction. 

Want something fast, easy, and fun to knit? Vincas is a great boxy, flattering tee with slight drop shoulders. Easy, easy, easy sampler that isn't boring to make at all! And it's a freebie! 

Another great summer yarn is Summer Sesame. Here it's paired ingeniously with Pima Soft for another fun, faux-colorwork summer tee Palmier. "Faux" because 1 color of Summer Sesame + a solid Pima Soft makes it look super complicated but really it's not! 

We adore using Pima Soft for kids and babies too. Berroco designed Wynn as a larger version of the very popular baby sweater Kirby. (Kim's Kirby stranded on Sleeve Island at moment....)

They then created an adult version too! Elmgrove uses a worsted weight (we suggest Modern Cotton, or with a bit of tweaking, Pima Soft if you get gauge) 
Kirby is in Vintage Baby but Modern Cotton DK a perfect sub for a cotton, warm weather version.
