> **Introduction offer: enjoy 20% off** > **until end of day Thursday Sept. 3rd,** > **no coupon code required - the discount will be applied automatically.** **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)* **GAUGE** 27 sts x 36 r per 10x10 cm / 4” x 4” in garter stitch with needle 3.25 mm/US 3 **NEEDLES** Circular needle 3.25 mm/US 3 (at least 80 cm / 32”) and 2.75 mm/US 2 for the cuffs (adjust your needle size to get the correct gauge) **NOTIONS** Stitch markers & a tapestry needle to weave in ends & some waste yarn to put stitches on hold **YARN REQUIREMENTS** The sample was knit with [On Stage Long Métrage](/yarns/library/natures-luxury-on-stage-long-metrage) by Nature’s Luxury (50% Merino, 30% Mulberry silk, 20% Baby Camel) using the colours Chateaux de sable as main colour, Mascarade (dark red) as first contrast colour and Lili Marleen (light pink) as second contrast colour.
