Mixage
Mixage is a box-style structured sweater, featuring a diagonal slash made with travelling cables. The horizontal tramline braids on the front of the sweater and on the right sleeve are applied using a crochet hook. All pieces are knitted flat and from the bottom up. Other areas are covered with a series of “Dotty” purl stitches. Once all pieces are blocked and seamed, the neck is picked up and knitted in the round.
