ABOUT
The idea behind the Mascarade slipover is to combine the look of a classic Fair Isle slipover with a modern touch. This is reflected in the all-over graphic knit pattern, as well as in the relaxed fit.

The slipover is knitted top down, with the shoulder construction designed as a ‘European shoulder’ to ensure a good fit.

You’ll find two versions for your preferred language:

• One is for working the upper body in rows. If you’re not put off by purling colourwork, then you’ve come to the right place.
• The other version is for working the upper body in the round using only knit stitches which are to be steeked later (instruction provided)
