Tacoma
A study in knit textile design
The various mountain motifs created
This project was my first ever attempt to create a custom knit design utilizing an engineered print. The print was created pixel by pixel in order to maintain the accuracy of where each yarn would be placed.
The inspiration came from mountains: the colors of the scenery, and Mount Rainier- known to Native Americans as Tacoma.
My first design that I later changed
The layout of the knitted garment
For this design, I decided to create a large cardigan, a piece that could be placed over neutral, toned garments in order to become the focal point of an outfit.
