The argyle pattern
is made of diamonds or lozenge or rhombus form. Argyle is not a casual pattern,
but it can be used occasionally.
The name
“Argyle” is at sometimes used to refer to an individual diamond in the design
but more regularly consider as the overall pattern. The largest part of Argyle arrangement
contains layers of overlapping motifs which will be adding together an intelligence
of three-dimensionality, movement, and texture.
Typically,
there is an overlay of intercrossing diagonal lines on plain diamonds.
Argyle
patterns are derived from the tartan [checkered pattern] of Clan Campbell of
Argyll in western Scotland. It was used for knee length garments and plaids
which means cross-barred pattern and from the attractive socks worn by Scottish
Highlanders at the period of 17th century. These were in general known as "tartan hose".
Argyle patterned
knitwear became very fashionable in England and then in USA after the First
World War. Pringle brands of Scotland popularized the design. The brand’s
website says that "the iconic Pringle argyle design was developed" in
the year 1920s. Duke of Windsor applied this pattern for golf clothing for
jerseys and for the long socks desirable for the plus-four trouser fashion of
the day.
Payne Stewart (1957–1999),
who won the U.S. Open and a PGA championship, was identified and esteemed by
fans for his dazzling bright and "flashy" costume. Stewart wore
knickerbockers and argyle socks.
As a
knitting pattern, Argyle is usually capable using the intarsia / Marquetry /
geometric technique.
Some sports panels
use bright, contemporary elucidation of the argyle patterns. For example, the
Garmin-Slipstream professional cycling team designated the "Argyle
Armada" and the Norwegian men's curling team at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
