A Berroco Pattern - Tressa Cardigan (PDF)

Crochet motifs are masters of versatility, and the one in Tressa pulls double duty in both a tee and a duster-length cardigan. Each motif is crocheted in the round and joined as you go to create dramatic layers sprinkled with fresh, vibrant color. Easily customize your layers by adding or subtracting rows.

Crochet motif instructions are both charted and written out.
