The Vivia Cardigan Kit is an intriguing project for makers who want a lightweight, lacy layering piece worked entirely in one piece.
Vivia is a short sleeve cardigan designed by Leanne Prouse, worked in a chevron lace pattern that creates a beautifully draped, waterfall front. Knitted flat in one piece with no seaming, it is worked in Aquarella, a 100% silk yarn from Araucania with a soft, tonal variegation that adds movement to the open lace fabric. The result is a piece with drape, elegance and a sheen that only silk can achieve.
What's Inside the Kit
- 3 to 5 skeins of Aquarella in your selected colourway (quantity depends on size)
- The Vivia knitting pattern (printed)
- A special gift, packed with care
Not included:
- 2.75mm (US 2) circular needles
- Stitch holder
- Ball winding service. You can purchase that separately here!
Designed for Makers Like You
Vivia is a wonderful project for intermediate knitters who enjoy lace work and want a garment that avoids seaming altogether. The chevron lace pattern is repetitive and rhythmic once established, and the one-piece construction means less finishing at the end.
It is especially suited to makers who love:
- Short sleeve lace cardigan knitting patterns with a draped, waterfall silhouette
- One-piece garments that avoid seaming
- Silk yarn with genuine sheen and drape
- Lightweight layering pieces for warmer months and transitional weather
- Handmade wardrobe pieces with an elegant, considered finish
Spun with Purpose
Aquarella is a fingering weight yarn from Araucania, made from 100% recycled silk sourced from production waste, giving new life to fibre that might otherwise go unused. The silk itself comes from Ahimsa production, a process that allows silkworms to complete their natural life cycle and hatch as moths before the empty cocoons are gathered.
This yarn is:
- 100% recycled organic silk, sourced from production waste
- made using Ahimsa silk production
- fingering weight, suited to fine gauge lace and garment work
- naturally lustrous with a soft halo and gentle shimmer
- tonal and painterly for gradual colour movement
Made to Be Made
The Vivia Cardigan Kit is a beautiful choice for:
- Intermediate knitters looking for a short sleeve lace cardigan knitting pattern
- Makers who enjoy one-piece garments without seaming
- Lightweight layering pieces for warmer weather
- Projects where silk's natural sheen and drape can shine
- Handmade wardrobe pieces with elegance and movement
If you have been looking for a short sleeve lace cardigan knitting pattern worked in a special yarn, the Vivia Cardigan Kit is a beautiful one to cast on.
Your Next Mindful Make
Vivia is the kind of project that settles into a steady rhythm once the chevron lace repeat is established. Watching the draped, waterfall front take shape is a satisfying part of the process.
It is a perfect choice for makers who enjoy lace knitting and want a finished piece with elegance.
