Designer Feature: biscotti by Lori Versaci

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on August 7, 2012October 5, 2020

biscotti by Lori Versaci and featured in the newly published twin rib collection, is an elegant short sleeved pullover featuring Savannah‘s persimmon, a dusty red-orange originally inspired by the delicious fruit. Lori’s inspiration when designing biscotti was very simple, “create a cute, stylish sweater that would flatter any type of body”; and her design is a beautiful interpretation of a classic pullover.

Both design and yarn go hand and hand in showcasing the texture featured in Savannah due to the reverse stockinette stitch  and edged in twin rib for a subtle detail that does not detract from the simplicity of the garment.

The full collection features many elements of sweater knitting that we love – shapes inspired by classic garments, components knit inpieces and seamed for structure and fit, and unique textures that allow the yarn to shine.

• Yarn: Savannah in persimmon, 6 (7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 12) skeins
• Needles: 1 – pair US 6 (4.5 mm) straights and circular. 1 – pair US 7 (5 mm) straights.
• Notions: Marker (m); tapestry needle.
• Gauge: 20 stitches and 30 rows = 4″ in St st with smaller needles
• Size: 32 (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64)” chest
