Armas

Introducing Armas, an exquisite seamless high-low dress that beautifully blends Irish heritage with contemporary style. The name “Armas” translates to both “crest” and “achievement” in Irish, reflecting the intricate design inspired by family crests. This stunning dress features a Celtic cable detail gracefully positioned at the top of the back, complemented by a practical kangaroo pocket—perfect for those who appreciate both fashion and functionality. Delicate cable patterns stylishly adorn the sleeves, tapering towards the elegant saddle shoulder. The rest of the dress is expertly crafted in soft stockinette stitch, allowing the striking cables to take center stage. Designed with a crew neck finished with a refined I-cord, Armas promises both comfort and style in every stitch.

Crafted from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk’s luxurious Norwegian combed wool yarn, Ask, Armas is not just a dress; it’s an experience. The intended ease of this design is 5-7 cm/2-2.75”, ensuring a flattering fit. The sample displayed measures 92 cm/36” and is stylishly worn on the model with an 8 cm/3.25” positive ease, showcasing its versatile nature.

Meterage: You will need 1486 m (1606 m, 1726 m, 1846 m, 2036 m) (2226 m, 2416 m, 2606 m, 2796 m) of yarn to complete this stunning piece.

Gauge: The pattern calls for a gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch using a 3.5 mm/US 4 needle, which measures a perfect 10 cm/4” square after blocking.

Notes: Armas is designed to be worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up, featuring set-in sleeves with a chic saddle shoulder design. The unique high-low hem is expertly cast on with two sets of circular needles and utilizes short row shaping at the bottom of the body, ensuring a modern silhouette that flatters all figures. Whether you're dressing it up for a special occasion or down for a cozy day out, Armas is a timeless addition to any wardrobe.
