This week’s free pattern Botany is knit in Lanalux, a sparkling merino metallic blend with an extraordinarily soft feel. The glittering yarn knits up into a light, airy fabric that is softly fuzzy and next to skin soft. Lanalux is a yarn by Swiss company Lang Yarns. Berroco is proud to be the exclusive distributor of Lang Yarns in the United States. Like Berroco, Lang Yarns has a long history in the world of textiles and continues to forge ahead into new areas of development. Long before ecological trends took hold, Lang was running their factory with hydroelectric power generated on-site. To read more about the history of Lang, click here.

This week’s free pattern contains a direction that strikes fear in the hearts of some knitters: “AT THE SAME TIME.” Why is this sentence always capitalized and how can you do two things at once? Click here to read our hints for managing simultaneous shaping.  

Botany is a body conscious cowlneck pullover with a surprising touch of botanical stitchwork and chic three-quarter length sleeves.
