From Rachel of Unwind Knitwear:

"I was lucky enough to visit Barcelona recently and one of my favourite memories of the trip was wandering the streets of the Eixample district. This design is inspired by the many beautiful Art Nouveau-inspired facades I saw there, which were often painted onto buildings, in panels between balconies and windows."

 

GAUGE ABBREVIATIONS

Using 3.5 mm / US size 4 needles, or needle size required to meet

gauge, 24 stitches over 28 rows / rounds in both stockinette stitch

and colourwork, wet blocked, creates a 4x4” / 10x10 cm square.

Neckband, waistband and cuff circumferences assume you are

working 7 sts per 1” / 2.5 cm.

Prioritise stitch gauge over row gauge; there are opportunities

within the pattern to add or remove rows if needed.

Non-Superwash base (300 m / 328 yds per 100 g) in colourways

Candytuft Umbellata for the Main Colour and Hellebore Orientalis
