Ardra

Discover the charm of our Ardra A-line pullover, a beautifully designed knitting pattern featuring intricate round knot cables that gracefully run along the body. With a slightly longer back and a sophisticated silhouette, this pullover is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your knitwear collection. Each sleeve is adorned with a single, tasteful cable, enhancing the pullover's overall aesthetic. The body is cleverly worked in the round and finished with a chic round neck that boasts an I-cord bind-off for a polished look. To improve fit and style, false seams adorn the sides, creating a flattering shape. The name Ardra draws inspiration from Celtic roots, meaning noble, embodying the elegance this design offers.
