Product Description
Souvenir Sweater in Berroco Vintage — Knitting Pattern Summary
The Souvenir Sweater is an intermediate-level knitting pattern designed by Mel Kennelly and published by Berroco. Available as a downloadable PDF, this colorful worsted-weight pullover is a standout project for knitters ready to work with multiple colors and explore classic sweater construction techniques. The pattern is worked in Berroco Vintage yarn and features a generous size range, making it accessible to a wide variety of body types.
What Is Being Made
The Souvenir is a pullover sweater worked in the round with a fitted, structured silhouette. It is designed with approximately 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of positive ease, giving it a comfortable, relaxed fit without being oversized. The sweater comes in a wide range of sizes, with finished bust measurements spanning from 35 inches (89 cm) up to 69 inches (175.5 cm), covering a truly inclusive range across ten sizes. Finished lengths range from approximately 23 to 27 inches (58.5 to 68.5 cm) depending on the size chosen. The sample shown in the pattern is knitted in the 38½ inch / 98 cm size.
Design and Colorwork Details
One of the most distinctive features of the Souvenir Sweater is its use of five colors of Berroco Vintage yarn, creating a vibrant and eye-catching finished garment. The colors used in the pattern are:
- #5176 Pumpkin (C1) — a warm, rich orange tone
- #5124 Kiwi (C2) — a fresh, lively green
- #5136 Bird's Egg (C3) — a soft, muted blue-green
- #5143 Dark Denim (C5) — a deep, classic navy-adjacent blue
- #51120 Ballet Slipper (C4) — a delicate, dusty pink
The hank quantities required vary by size, with larger sizes naturally requiring more yarn, particularly for colors like Ballet Slipper (C4), which ranges from 2 hanks in the smallest sizes up to 4 hanks in the largest. Working with five colors gives this sweater a rich, artisan quality reminiscent of traditional colorwork traditions, and knitters will want to keep their yarn organized and untangled throughout the project.
Yarn and Materials
The pattern calls for Berroco Vintage, a beloved worsted-weight yarn sold in 100-gram hanks. Berroco Vintage is known for its smooth, consistent texture and subtle heathered appearance, which makes it an excellent choice for colorwork as the stitch definition remains crisp and clear. Its blend of fibers gives it a soft hand while maintaining excellent stitch clarity — ideal for showcasing the multi-color design of the Souvenir Sweater.
Needles and Notions
The pattern requires two sizes of knitting needles to achieve the correct gauge and finished fabric structure:
- Size 6 / 4 mm needles — used for ribbing, hems, or lower-tension sections
- Size 7 / 4.5 mm needles — the larger needle used for the main body fabric
Both needle sizes are needed in a format suitable for working in the round. The pattern specifically calls for double-pointed needles (DPNs) in both sizes, or the knitter's preferred method for working small circumferences in the round — such as magic loop or a short circular needle. Additional notions include:
- Stitch markers to track pattern repeats and shaping points
- Waste yarn for holding stitches during construction
- A tapestry needle for finishing and weaving in ends
