The Bianca Open Cardigan Kit is a beautiful project for makers who want a garment that feels as satisfying to knit as it is to wear.
 
Bianca is a cropped open-front cardigan designed by Mari Lynn Patrick, worked in a textured ridge pattern that lets Jaspeada's marled colour effect take centre stage. The tonal variation shifts naturally across each row, creating a finished fabric with real depth and warmth.
 
Available in four sizes with a finished bust measurement of 102cm to 122cm, Bianca is a wearable, versatile layering piece that works across seasons.

Bianca is a wonderful project for intermediate knitters who enjoy garment knitting with a relaxed, rhythmic quality. The ridge pattern is straightforward to work, making this a cardigan you can settle into with ease. The Bianca pattern is engaging enough to hold your interest yet calm enough to enjoy at your own pace.
 
It is especially suited to makers who love:
Cardigan patterns in alpaca yarn with warmth and visual depth
Bulky wool cardigan patterns that work up at a satisfying pace
Garments where the yarn brings the colour and character
Cropped, open-front silhouettes that layer easily
Handmade wardrobe pieces that feel practical and polished
 
Spun with Purpose
 
Jaspeada is a bulky alpaca blend made in Peru from 50% superfine alpaca, 35% wool and 15% recycled polyamide. The superfine alpaca gives it exceptional softness and warmth, the wool adds structure, and the recycled polyamide brings durability and a subtle sheen.
 
The marled colour effect, created by twisting strands of different tones together during spinning, gives each skein a naturally variegated quality that works beautifully in the Bianca ridge pattern.
