Flat Rib Popover Using Berroco Ultra Alpaca
The Design
Whether you wear it with denim or tailored pieces, this simple layer will have you dressed and out the door in a flash. It tapers imperceptibly to the hem for a boxy shape that doesn’t flare at the bottom. Dropped shoulders create a flattering line. The subtly textured rib pattern results in a smooth, flat finish that’s nice inside out, too.
We knit this warm shell in Berroco Ultra Alpaca—a flawlessly balanced blend of Peruvian Highland wool and alpaca. It’s spun up perfectly round and light, the bounce of the wool supporting the soft drape of the alpaca. And with the extensive range of super-saturated colors to choose from, you might knit a Popover for each day of the week!
