La Mascarada Sweater
Inspired by the captivating mystery and elegant drama of a 16th-century Masquerade Ball, **La Mascarada** combines intricate mosaic and delicate lace techniques to create a stunning and elegant yoke panel for your next knitting project. This beautifully designed sweater is worked seamlessly and in the round from the top down, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience.
The unique construction begins with short rows to shape the neckline, providing a flattering fit. Once the neckline is established, the mesmerizing mosaic pattern is introduced, followed by an exquisite lace design that adds an extra layer of sophistication. The design allows you to effortlessly separate the sleeves and body, which are then worked from top to bottom, giving you the freedom to customize the length to your preference.
The cuffs are crafted using the same captivating mosaic pattern as the yoke, making for a cohesive and stylish look.

Additionally, there's a helpful link to a YouTube video tutorial specifically for Rounds 3, 4, and 6 of the Mosaic design, ensuring that you have all the guidance you need as you knit.
