The Ainava Landscape Sweater was first published in my book "Crochet Sweaters with a Textured Twist", (Page Street Publishing, USA, 2023).
The texture of Ainava is inspired by the ups and downs of a serrated landscape that plays with subtle highlights, shadows and the perception of volume itself. Post stitches of varying heights pile up in lines to create a scenery-like, pleated fabric.
