Knitting For Olive | Bertha Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack
Cosy Meets Statement Style
The Bertha Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack is all about bold texture and effortless comfort. With its chunky raglan construction and bishop sleeves, it’s the kind of knit that makes an impact without being fussy.
Worked seamlessly from the top down on 10 mm needles, Bertha combines five different yarn qualities held together—giving you the freedom to choose a sleek, tonal look or a playful marled effect. The result? A sweater that feels as fun to knit as it is to wear.
Quick to make and endlessly versatile, Bertha is the go-to project when you want a cosy staple that still feels unique.
Our Bertha Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack is suitable for the XS size pattern and includes: 2 x Merino (Undyed), 2 x Cotton Merino (Undyed), 2 x Pure Silk (Undyed), 4 x Heavy Merino (Undyed), 3 x Soft Silk Mohair (Undyed), and a digital pattern. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.
