FRAN Vest Pattern Bundle in Phoenix by LANGYARNS | Fatto a Mano 286-007

FRAN Vest Pattern Bundle in PHOENIX by LANGYARNS

The FRAN Vest is a knitted sleeveless garment with a classic button-front construction and a clean, open silhouette. The simple shape allows the chunky yarn and generous stitch scale to take centre stage, creating a warm and versatile layering piece.

Knitted in PHOENIX by LANGYARNS, a chunky-weight yarn made from extrafine merino wool and nylon, the finished fabric is exceptionally soft, cosy and comfortable to wear. Featured in FATTO A MANO 286, this design brings together bold simplicity, practical layering and quick-knitting comfort.

The McIntosh Pattern Bundle includes the PHOENIX by LANGYARNS yarn required for your chosen size together with the LANGYARNS FATTO A MANO 286 magazine containing the FRAN pattern and additional designs.
