PATTERN INFORMATION
The Azulejo Sweater is inspired by traditional tile work found in Portugal and parts of Spain. It is a top-down sweater with a drop-shoulder construction and all-over fair isle motif. Short rows are used to shape the shoulders and corrugated ribbing and Italian bind-off are used to finish the body and sleeves. Fair isle diagrams are charted.

The sweater has approx. 10-15 cm / 4”-6” positive ease.
