BENIKO Cardigan Pattern Kit in ANANAS by LANGYARNS
BENIKO is a women’s knitted cardigan worked in ANANAS by LANGYARNS, a DK weight yarn composed of 70% Lyocell, 30% Pineapple Fibres . The pineapple fibre is made from the leaves of the pineapple plant — material that would otherwise be treated as waste — and is processed using sustainable methods without bleach, with an enzyme wash used to remove impurities and a mechanised process designed to minimise environmental impact. In the finished yarn, the pineapple element brings a gently rustic look and feel without being scratchy, whilst the Lyocell adds a subtle sheen and a smooth, breathable quality that suits textured stitchwork beautifully.
The cardigan is worked in half brioche rib, creating a softly raised fabric with depth and gentle elasticity. The stitch structure gives a plush, textural surface while remaining light and breathable, and the simple three-button front keeps the silhouette clean, wearable, and quietly refined.
This kit includes the LANGYARNS ANANAS required for your selected size and the original LANGYARNS FATTO A MANO 284 pattern publication featuring BENIKO.
