XANDRA Hooded vest Pattern Bundle in Carpe Diem by LANGYARNS | Fatto a Mano 286-010

XANDRA Hooded Vest made in CARPE DIEM by LANGYARNS

XANDRA is a women’s knitted hooded vest worked in CARPE DIEM by LANGYARNS, a yarn made from 70% new wool (merino extrafine – mulesing free) and 30% alpaca. As a worsted / aran “dream yarn”, CARPE DIEM offers remarkable volume and softness for its weight, balancing refined comfort with a quietly sporty ease.

The vest is worked in half brioche rib, creating a fabric that feels plush and gently elastic with a calm, structured surface. Designed with a hood and a simple button closure, XANDRA functions as a light outer layer that can be worn open or fastened at the front for added warmth and definition.

Elegant and understated, XANDRA sits comfortably within the sophisticated aesthetic of the FATTO A MANO 286 collection. The design focuses on texture and proportion, resulting in a piece that feels timeless, refined, and quietly confident.

This bundle brings together the correct LANGYARNS yarn quantity for your chosen size, along with the relevant printed pattern magazine.
