FATTO A MANO 288: Spring & Summer 2026 – A Season of Colour, Lightness & Play

Fatto A Mano 288 welcomes you into three imaginative worlds that capture the spirit of the warmer seasons. From bold Retro Graphics to the breezy purity of Scandinavian Fresh, to designs that sparkle softly like a summer night, this collection celebrates creativity in all its forms.

Colours glow with confidence or whisper with restraint, while structures shift between clean architectural lines and surfaces full of lively movement. Sometimes playful, sometimes serene, every pattern encourages you to reconnect joyfully with colour, form, and texture — whether you knit or crochet.

Crochet – Light, Airy, and Perfect for Summer

Crochet truly shines in this collection. From nostalgic granny squares to delicate open-work designs, the pieces radiate lightness and the unmistakable feel of summer. The technique lends itself beautifully to warm days, producing airy garments and accessories that feel decorative yet effortlessly wearable.

Yarns such as ANANAS, CREALINO, and BELLE take centre stage, transforming simple stitches into breezy tops, elegant wraps, and statement pieces that instantly add a summery lift to any wardrobe.

Yarn Mixing – Creativity Through Contrast & Depth

This season celebrates the magic that happens when yarns are combined. By layering fibres, colours, and textures, knitters can create effects that feel entirely new and wonderfully expressive.

A whisper-light yarn like LACE brings a dreamy softness to the vibrant hues of FIESTA, as beautifully demonstrated in the design Sanne. Shimmering yarns — ASTRA, LAMÉ SOFT, PAILLETTES — pair effortlessly with classics to introduce subtle sparkle, refined highlights, or a touch of glamour to clean silhouettes. These combinations turn simple styles into captivating, characterful garments.

Textures – Movement, Depth & Standout Details

Texture plays a starring role across FAM 288, drawing the eye to thoughtful design moments: a sculpted neckline, a shaped cuff, a striking seam. Textured surfaces bring fibres to life, offering movement, dimension, and visual rhythm.

Some designs rely on stitch architecture; others let the yarn itself speak. A fibre like VELVET adds sensual softness and a unique tactile quality, creating garments that feel as beautiful to wear as they are to make.
