Elbrus

Designed by Irina Anikeeva

Inspired by the dramatic ridges and sharp contours of Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus, this pullover showcases bold geometric colorwork that echoes the mountain’s angular slopes. The two-tone motif is worked in stranded knitting across the body, with mirrored lines that create depth and movement. Solid stockinette at the yoke, sleeves, and hem provides balance, letting the striking patterning take center stage. The sweater features a straight body and set-in style sleeves for a comfortable fit. Worked seamlessly, the design highlights the rhythm of the charted motif while keeping construction approachable.
