“You can’t be limited. Dare to rise above all limitations and become better than you were.“ ~ Israelmore Ayivor

Named after the highest point of the sun in the sky, Zenit celebrates moments when confidence, creativity, and opportunity seem to align.

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down and features a rhythmic mosaic pattern in contrasting stripes. The simple silhouette, with minimal ease, allows the colorwork to take center stage while remaining comfortable and easy to wear. After the yoke is completed, the body and sleeves are separated and worked in the round to the hem and cuffs.

The pattern includes written instructions and charted mosaic sections.
This pattern is perfect for advanced beginners looking to explore mosaic knitting.
