Ardales

This pullover was designed to accommodate very specific requirements. He wanted it to be lightweight, have a comfortable and loose fit around the neckline with a good amount of ease through the torso and, of course, some texture for interest. Whew!

The name was inspired by all the gorgeous colours found in the yarn (colour chosen by him!): rich and strong rust complimented by highlights of gold, blue and green. These are the exact colours that can be found in the rock formations in Caminito del Rey, located in Ardales, Malaga – which are simply breathtaking! If you are ever visiting in the area, do make sure to add this one to your list.

Ardales is knit in stockinette with a cable and rib combination through the body, has a ribbed neckline and a single cable running down the centre sleeves. It’s knit seamlessly from the top down using the contiguous sleeve construction.

Designed with approximately 5-6”/12.5-15 cm of positive ease. (Sample is shown in size medium, in Drops Alpaca.)
