BLUE INTERFERENCE
Graphic gloves, featuring a two-shade rhomboid motif, half broken by a horizontal blue ribbon line. This design was inspired by the graphic carpets I admired during my stay in Mexico in 2018. I started by designing a small pyramid shape, mirroring it with a contrasting shade. A third shade "interferes" with the pattern, breaking up the rhythm of the triangular motifs with a rectangle. It was first published in 2019 in Warm Hands collection.Yarn
