BETTINA Short-sleeved Cardigan Pattern Kit in VAYA by LANGYARNS
The BETTINA Cardigan is a knitted garment worked in VAYA by LANGYARNS , a DK weight yarn composed of 74% cotton, 16% virgin wool (merino extrafine), and 10% yak. This refined fibre blend creates a breathable yet gently warming fabric with a soft handle, making it ideal for layering throughout the year.
The design features a V-neck and short sleeves, with garter stitch framing the hem, sleeve edges and neckline. The body combines stocking stitch and moss stitch, while yarn overs highlight the V-neck shaping, introducing texture and subtle movement without sacrificing wearability.
This kit includes the LANGYARNS VAYA required for your selected size and the original LANGYARNS FATTO A MANO 280 pattern publication featuring BETTINA.
