Alhambra

Alhambra Pullover is a stunningly textured knitting pattern designed for those who love to create beautiful and wearable art. This pullover is seamlessly crafted from the top down, making it an ideal project for knitters of various skill levels. The innovative yoke shaping utilizes a modified version of the contiguous set-in sleeves method, developed by the talented Susie Myers, ensuring a flattering fit and elegant silhouette. The neckline of this pullover is meticulously shaped with short rows, providing additional comfort and style.

As you progress through the design, both the yoke and body are worked in rounds, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience. After achieving the perfect shoulder width, you will dive into the lovely textured pattern that makes the Alhambra Pullover a standout piece. The front and back of the pullover feature this captivating textured pattern, while the sleeves are beautifully complemented by a plain Stockinette stitch, providing a nice contrast. To complete the look, the cuffs are finished in the same stunning textured pattern as the body, tying the whole garment together with a cohesive design.

For this project, we recommend using the exquisite yarns from Gli Occhi del Lupo. You will need either BAUCI or PRISCA (lace weight, a luxurious blend of kid mohair and silk; 460 yds/420 m per 50g) in a gorgeous cognac color, held together with CORILLA (fingering weight, ultra-soft merino extrafine; 436 yds/400 m per 100g), also available in a stunning cognac hue.
