An Offshoot of a Familiar Pattern…
Snuggle Worthy!
Shown in Kit 1 colourway.
Berroco’s original Fern Lake blanket continues to be a popular knitting pattern and it's easy to see why! Colours flow from stripe to stripe in this Ombré Mosaic Stitch (also called Linen Stitch or Tweed Stitch). It uses four colours and a simple stitch, but the results make a big impact. We can purchase the Fern Lake blanket on your behalf and have it emailed to you and stored in your Ravelry Library, if you have one.
With the popularity of the original full size Fern Lake blanket, Berroco has ‘down-sized’ the pattern into a smaller finished size and called it “Baby Fern Lake”. It is offered as a free pattern download!
Baby Fern Lake is made with Vintage Baby, the extra-soft edition of their bestselling, machine-washable Vintage yarn. The softest of wool and acrylic make Vintage Baby perfect for next to skin blankets and garments.
Berroco has put together a few new colour combinations to help inspire us to cast on!
Baby Fern Lake Kit Colour Suggestions from Berroco
KIT 1 – Pearl # 10002, Toast # 10072, Pepper # 10071 and Lagoon # 10012
KIT 2 – Buttercup # 10011, Sunflower # 10020, Orange # 10023 and Poppy # 10033
KIT 3 – Fuchsia # 10025, Ballet Pink # 10006, Pearl # 10002 and Toast # 10072

What is the Berroco DropShip program?
Berroco DropShip is a program that allows you to place yarn and pattern orders with us here at London Yarns and to purchase yarns by the ball/skein, so you can buy as many or as few of each brand and each colour as needed with no minimums, no maximums. As an added bonus, if you purchase yarn to make any of Berroco’s patterns, they will include the printed pattern FREE of charge, even if they usually charge for the PDF pattern.
So, if there is a Berroco yarn that you would like to work with, feel free to place your order with us.
**Since we can order as little as ONE BALL, it’s also a great way to test out, sample and swatch with new yarns before committing to an entire project!
The DropShip Program includes ALL of Berroco’s yarns as well as their partner brands – AMANO YARNS, West Yorkshire Spinners and LOPI.
Please note: Because the DropShip Program is a ‘special order’ program, we require payment at time of ordering and all sales are final.
What do you think???
Wouldn’t the Baby Fern Lake Throw be great car knitting? It’s a very simple, repetitive stitch that produces remarkable results and is easy knitting.
May your day be filled with sunshine & happiness!
…and yarn! We can’t forget the yarn!!
Hee hee.
