Lorca by Berroco Design Team

Craft: Knitting

Lorca is a wear-everywhere colorblocked knitted dress featuring four shades of Berroco Modern Linen that transition from one to the next with simple stripes. Allover stockinette stitch lets the saturated colors of the yarn shine, and the easy, A-line silhouette will make it an instant wardrobe staple. 

Lorca is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up with seams at the shoulders and sides. Ribbed trims at the neck and armholes provide a tidy finish.
