You might not be able to tell it by the weather, but we are gearing up for spring. As we look forward to milder temps, the desire to knit in soft cottons and blends definitely arises. Lana Grossa brings us 2 new yarns this season, Bottoni a chained soft cotton/viscose blend, wrapped in fine Merino Wool, and Summer Soft, an 80% cotton tube, filled with 30% soft Merino. The addition of the Merino adds to the sustainability of the cotton blends. The simple V-neck cardigan is based in the Summer Soft and then the chain textural pattern is achieved by adding in the Bottoni to create pattern and texture. Size 10 needles make it fast as well as fabulous. Featured in the new Natural Knits Book #1 by Lana Grossa, we know you will find many more beautiful pieces to knit or crochet. The pattern is included in the kit. This one does need buttons; be sure to ask for one of our curated button packages.
