Sombra

The highlight of this jacket is undoubtedly the shadow (or illusion) knitting technique, hence its name, “Sombra” (meaning “shadow” in Portuguese). The chevron motif appears and disappears with just a slight move. This jacket is sure to raise the curiosity of anyone you meet. The garment changes every time you move!

And the combination of the Romaria yarn with the texture of the shadow knitting stitch gives this jacket a very special character. It’s almost like the corduroy of our children’s pants. Who remembers swiping to create and erase designs?

This cardigan is worked in pieces and then sewn together. All the pieces are worked in two-color stripes and the shadow pattern. To make this cardigan, you only need to know how to knit and purl. There are no increases or decreases!
