Voici l'explication fournie par le client : 'c'est une maille jacquard avec des motifs ressemblant à des points, des lignes et des formes géométriques'. Thanks for your help !

would provide the end of the sentence (effet ...quoi ?!) but Askers are often under pressure. Otherwise we are allplaying a guessing game.

Couldn't it be netting, like those dotty veils that adorned women's hats in the 1950s?

but a pattern is often a more or less complex arrangement of different stitches....

didn't mean to sound categorical and you are right. Without more context we do no know if it is a stitch or a pattern.

and what is "maille" if it is not knitwear ?

10:18 Jan 5 

but this is 'maille' not 'tricot'

10:15 Jan 5 

is a stitch (knit, purl...)

10:09 Jan 5 

to see what comes after "effet" , if it is dotted/speckled / stippled (plenty possibilities at this stage!)

jeux de points is used for a dot-to-dot drawing for kids - looking at images I note that for cardigans, etc it seems to depict a raised (chain) type look - This is not my field, but if you can find the right word for this kind of pattern (like on an Arran jersey) you may be on the right track
