Gismonda

Now available for instant download on Ravelry!

Embrace the elegance of Art Nouveau fashion with our stunning knitting pattern for the Gismonda, where dramatic lines and intricate patterns take center stage. This beautiful design draws inspiration from vintage aesthetics, featuring Gismonda's full, flowing skirt and beautifully nipped-in waist that creates a flattering silhouette. The drop sleeves provide an easy, comfortable fit around the armholes, while the deep v-neckline elegantly directs the eye toward the show-stopping, musically-inspired cables that serve as the centerpiece of this knitwear masterpiece.

Gismonda is crafted in the round up to the armholes, where clever construction seamlessly leads to the separation for the Front and Back sections. Sleeve increases are thoughtfully integrated into the sides for an added touch of sophistication and ease.

Please note that this pattern requires the use of charts, making it ideal for knitters who enjoy a bit of a challenge while creating a stunning finished piece.
