ESME Cardigan Pattern Kit in DUETT & LAMÉ SOFT by LANGYARNS
The ESME Cardigan is a refined knitted layer with a gently shaped silhouette, classic round neckline and neat buttoned front. Smooth stocking stitch allows the shifting two-tone character of DUETT to take centre stage, while carefully placed LAMÉ SOFT introduces a subtle metallic shimmer.
Ribbed borders finish the neckline, button bands, cuffs and hem, giving the cardigan a polished structure. Five coordinating buttons complete the front, creating a versatile garment that can be worn fastened as a top or open as a light layer.
This kit includes the LANGYARNS DUETT and LANGYARNS LAMÉ SOFT required for your selected size and the original LANGYARNS FATTO A MANO 288 pattern publication featuring ESME.
