Lennox Cardi Kit

Description

The Lennox Cardi features bold zig-zag cables and twisted stitches that create a striking, deeply textured fabric. This unisex design by Pat Menchini is a modern interpretation of classic Aran styles from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. The cardigan is constructed flat with textured patterns worked all over the back, fronts, and sleeves, and finished with clean ribbed bands. This engaging knit uses techniques such as cables, twisted stitches, buttonholes, and mattress stitch, with clear charts included. The versatile V-neck and relaxed drop-shoulder silhouette make this a wearable year-round garment, perfect for layering over a favorite tee.

Made in The Fibre Co.’s &Make Aran yarn, this Highland wool and alpaca blend delivers the perfect combination of strength and softness. The yarn’s springy texture and excellent stitch definition make the stitch patterns pop, while the addition of alpaca lends gentle warmth and a lightly fuzzy halo without compromising clarity. &Make Aran’s balanced blend creates a comfortable, durable fabric ideal for everyday wear, making it the perfect partner for a classic-meets-contemporary cardigan like Lennox.
