Hento Cardigan

Introducing the Hento Lite Cardigan, a charming little sister to the Hento design featured in Laine Magazine Issue 15. This delightful cardigan is crafted in a relatively loose gauge to create a light and airy fabric, making it the perfect layering piece for spring or autumn. Whether you're heading out for a casual day or dressing up for a cozy evening, this cardigan adds just the right touch of warmth and style. Basic brioche knitting skills are required, but don't worry—tutorial links are conveniently included in the pattern to guide you through the process.

For an ideal fit, we recommend a positive ease of 25.5 cm. The sample showcased is in size 2 and is modeled on a 34” / 85 cm bust, featuring approximately 25 cm of positive ease for a comfortable, relaxed look. The cardigan fits bust sizes of approximately 75 (85, 95, 105, 115) (125, 135, 145, 155) cm, ensuring a versatile fit for various body types.

FINISHED Bust Circumference: 100 (110, 120, 130, 140) (153.5, 160, 170, 180) cm, allowing you to choose the perfect size for your wardrobe.

6 (6, 6, 7, 7) (8, 8, 8, 9) skeins of Pascuali Pinta (60% merino extrafine, 20% silk, 20% ramie, 232 yds / 212 m – 50 g)—offering a soft, elegant drape that feels wonderful against the skin.
