Berroco booklet #263 contains four patterns that are inspired by characters in
the knit-themed novel
Family Tree by Barbara Delinsky.
This companion knitting collection was designed for the modern knitter with the
concept of heirloom in mind.
| DANA The Dana felted bag makes a great knitting or diaper bag. Knit in Ultra Alpaca, six generous pockets surround the main compartment. The color pattern is very easy and would be a good choice for a first foray into fair isle knitting.  . |
ELIZABETH The Elizabeth shawl is a modern version of a Faroese shawl that the protagonist's mother might have made. Our shawl is shown tied behind the back as a modern wrap with a face framing lace edging. It would be equally entrancing draped over one's shoulders or tied around the waist as an over skirt.  . |
SAUNDRA THROW The Saundra baby afghan/throw in Pure Merino, made up of hexagons, looks intricate but is deceptively simple. Worked on straight needles, each hexagon is knit onto the one before it so there is no finishing. You can look at this one for hours and keep seeing it in new ways, like with a beautiful patchwork quilt.  . |
LIZZIE LAYETTE
The Lizzie layette is a baby bunting, hat and mittens. Our color choice is a bit bolder than traditional baby hues. It's very easy and butter soft in Pure Merino.  . |
