This is from a clothing catalog. "Stereo knit" or "stereo stitch" doesn't seem to be a term in English. Anybody know what this is?

English translation:two-tone knit
Explanation:
This is one guess - your picture would appear to be knitted in two-tone wool. Or, could it refer to the striped appearance of the cables with plain knitting in between?

I'm a keen amateur knitter but have never heard of anything referred to as "stereo".
