Ansel

The name should tell it all: The Ansel sweater was inspired by the renowned photographer, Ansel Adams, and his iconic gray-scale photography.

He was able to perfectly capture the depth, emotion, and story behind every snapshot in the most captivating way. The Ansel sweater is a small attempt to pay homage to Adams's essence and style.

It is a very simple construction, but like Adams, by playing with texture each stitch pattern adds depth to the design and together, the Ansel sweater tells its own story in a very sophisticated way.

I hope you enjoy this design as much as I do. Happy Making!
