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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit includes the pattern, emailed to you from Ravelry, and the Como needed for your chosen size in both colours.
