The Leandra Sweater Kit is a beautiful project for makers who want a simple top with a distinctive detail. The soft ruffle at the sleeve edge lifts an otherwise simple silhouette and the stunning tonal effect of the yarn adds visual interest without any need for colourwork.
Leandra is a short-sleeve, scoop-neck top designed by Claudia Wersing. Worked in Huasco Sock Kettle Dyes, the yarn's tonal, kettle-dyed colour variation gives the finished top real depth. The ruffle detail at the sleeve hem adds a considered, polished finish.
What's Inside the Kit
- 3 to 4 skeins of Huasco Sock Kettle Dyes in your selected colourway (quantity depends on size)
- The Leandra knitting pattern (printed)
- A special gift, packed with care
Not included:
- 3.5mm (US 4) circular needles (40cm)

Designed for Makers Like You
Leandra is a wonderful project for advanced beginner to intermediate knitters who want a garment with a little more detail than a standard top, without the commitment of a full sweater. The fine fingering weight means a slower, more considered knit, and the ruffle hem is straightforward to work once you understand the construction.
It is especially suited to makers who love:
- Knitted top patterns worked in sock yarn
- Fine gauge garments with tonal, hand-dyed colour
- Considered details like ruffled sleeve hems
- Lighter-weight tops suited to warmer months and layering
- Handmade wardrobe pieces with a polished, considered finish
Spun with Purpose
Huasco Sock Kettle Dyes is a fingering weight yarn blend of 75% merino and 25% recycled nylon, kettle-dyed for a tonal, painterly colour effect. The merino content gives it softness and breathability, while the nylon adds strength and durability.
This yarn is:
- 75% merino wool, 25% recycled nylon
- fair-trade certified
- kettle-dyed for tonal, semi-solid colour variation
- fingering weight (4ply), suited to lighter garments
- durable enough for pieces with structural detail like ruffles and ribbing
Made to Be Made
The Leandra Sweater Kit is a beautiful choice for:
- Advanced beginner to intermediate knitters looking for a knitted top pattern with a distinctive detail
- Makers who enjoy fine gauge garment knitting
- Warmer-weather tops that layer well into cooler months
- Projects that let hand-dyed, tonal colour do the visual work
- Handmade wardrobe pieces with a feminine, polished finish
If you have been looking for a knitted top pattern in sock yarn with a little extra detail, the Leandra Sweater Kit is a beautiful one to cast on.
Your Next Mindful Make
Leandra is the kind of project that rewards patience. The fine gauge means slower, steadier progress, and watching the tonal colour of Huasco Sock Kettle Dyes move through the stocking stitch body is a satisfying part of the process. The ruffle hem is a lovely finishing touch to work toward.
It is a perfect choice for makers who enjoy fine gauge knitting and want a top that is considered to make and easy to wear once complete.
