Berryina Box
- Berry-in-a-Box
Contributed by Leona Hughes, Sarasota, Florida
This perfectly charming openwork fabric consists of purled "berries" enclosed by little square frames of lace and set off by small ribs. Berry-in-a-Box is delightful in stoles and evening sweaters. Try it with a fancy yarn—slubbed, crinkled, ombre, or a sparkling metallic.
