Jardin des Plantes Kit

About Jardin des Plantes

Jardin des Plantes designed by Emma Wright celebrates the main botanical garden in France located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris on the left bank of the river Seine. A feature lace design sits on the back panel of this raglan cardigan. The neckline and cuff has a pretty scallop edge with a simple garter stitch at the hem. Both the fronts and sleeve begin with approximately 8 cm (3 in) of the lace stitch and then transition into stocking stitch. The button band is finished with a mid-grey shell button.

April in Paris is The Fibre Co.’s debut collection for the yarn Luma. There are six patterns inspired by the ‘City of Lights’ with each design taking its name from a Paris landmark.
