Alina Cardigan Kit | Lamana Como + Pattern

Alina Cardigan Kit

Lamana Como Yarn + Knitting Pattern | Lamana | Intermediate

Alina is a wide, boxy V neck cardigan with fine stripes, a strong shoulder line and a neat double knit button band. It comes from Lamana's own design collection #18 and is knitted in two colours of Como, their soft superfine merino. The sample is knitted in Fern 70M with Magnolia 79M, but you can pick any two shades you like.

It is knitted from the top down, starting at the shoulder line across the top of the back. The two fronts are then worked from that same line in the opposite direction and joined to the back at the underarms. The sleeves are knitted straight on and also worked flat from the top down, and the button band is added last. You can adjust the length, though a longer cardigan may need extra yarn.

This kit includes the pattern, emailed to you from Ravelry, and the Como needed for your chosen size in both colours. Choose your main colour and your stripe colour, then pick your size and we will add the right number of balls to your basket.

If you have a Ravelry account, please add your Ravelry username to the notes section when placing your order so the pattern is saved in your library.

You are purchasing a knitting pattern and yarn, not the item itself.
