Comodo is an interesting concept: a lightweight jacket designed do be worn open is no new concept, but this cardigan can be knitted in any size and any yarn, though it works much better with lightweight yarns like our Lace or, for midseason wear, Lamora, Luxor, and LanaCashmere. This is made possible thanks to the […]
Lanecardate’s star for the summer is Lace, our lightweight and yet warm version of Lamora, designed specifically for knitting shawls and other light accessories. Yet, why not use Lace to create fantastic, flowing, drapey, lightweight cardigans? The Ecuador cardigan, designed by the talented Joji Locatelli, is a clear example of this type of sweater: a […]
Lamora is probably our most successful yarn, so we have taken a little time browsing Ravelry to see what our clients decided to make with it. For instance, Lamarghe used Lamora to create this beautiful beanie in red and black. To create it she used the Deathflake chart by Art fiend, which she applied to […]
The pattern at the moment is available only in Italian from the designer’s Ravelry web page.
We often mention the independent knit designer Valentina Cosciani because we like her style and she loves our yarns, proof is the brand new shawl she designed using our Lamora Lace. Vajolet is a semicircular doubleface shawl, worked from one point to the other. The shawl is 180 cm wide and its height is about 50 […]

The Tepore fingerless mittens are easy-peasy and yet full of detail. The thumb goes through a simple buttonhole-shaped opening and the top is decorated by a reverse stockinette ridge, […]

The baby will not have to continously take them off in order to use his or her hands to touch, grab, and do things and he […]
Stitch patterns can’t get much easier than seed stitch: knit one stitch and purl one stitch over an odd number of stitches. Yet this grainy, textured stitch has lots of proprieties: it’s reversible, lies flat and doesn’t curl and therefore it’s a perfect stitch for a scarf. Especially for a beginner’s scarf, since this stitch […]
If you are new to knitting in the round, you will love this easy-peasy cowl in seed stitch. Just cast-on with a thick needle the required number of stitches and start working one knitted stitch and one purled stitch. The stitches will pile one over the other in a cantilevered way that will produce this […]
Campanellino in Italian means “little bell”, but it’s also Tinkerbell’s Italian name. Come think of it, there may be no nicer name for this tiny newborn pixie hat knitted in extrasoft SoCashmere yarn, our chunky pure cashmere. SoCashmere with its superthick plushy consistency will nicely surround and cushon your baby’s head. The hat is topped […]
