MIDNIGHT MIRAGE SWEATER is an elegant sweater with
a characteristic, almost embroidered-looking pattern across the
yoke.

The sweater is cast on using the Italian cast-on technique, and
a neck edge is worked in twisted rib for a well-defined rib edge.
Next, the slipped-stitch pattern is worked down across the yoke, where the graphic pattern clearly stands out.

To ensure a good fit across the shoulders, the yoke is shaped
with short rows. Before dividing the work for sleeves and body,
increases are worked along the armholes to allow good freedom of movement.

The body and sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette
stitch. The sleeves are finished with a slipped stitch pattern and a twisted rib edge. The hem also has a twisted rib edge and is bound off using the Italian bind-off technique for a refined
look.

This slipped stitch technique is a simple way to create the look
of stranded knitting without knitting multiple colors at once.
You knit the pattern one color at a time, which makes the technique simple and comfortable to work with.

How much positive ease you like in your clothes varies from person to person. Try measuring one or more of your favorite
sweaters and compare those measurements to the ones listed

My Midnight Mirage Sweater has 12 cm of positive ease.
I recommend 5-15 cm of positive ease, depending on the
