Palace of Winds is a drop shoulder pullover with an intricate cable design on the front and the sleeves reminding me of the façade of the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) in Jaipur (India), which I visited some years ago.

Palace of Winds is worked seamlessly from the top down with drop sleeves, starting from the shoulders and growing down to form the rest of the body.
This pullover has a loose line and slim sleeves.
The center panel is worked in a “Filigree” technique: a fun and easy way to knit colorwork and cables together, with a subtle and striking effect at the same time.
