The Herringbone Sweater Duo combines simplicity with striking visual impact. This versatile mosaic-knit sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down and can be made as either a pullover or a cardigan. Its classic herringbone pattern takes on a captivating twist as it fans out from the center of the front and back, creating a stunning optical illusion that flatters all body types. The interplay of light and dark shades enhances the design, adding depth and movement.

This pattern features straightforward construction: no increases or decreases in the colorwork and only one color of yarn worked at a time. While the finished garment may appear intricate, the process is simple, with clear step-by-step instructions, video tutorials, and easy-to-follow mosaic charts ensure a smooth knitting experience.

Perfect for knitters seeking a project that is both meditative and bold, the Mirage Herringbone Sweater adds a touch of sophistication to any wardrobe. Choose your favorite contrasting colors to bring the mirage to life!
