Maligar

Introducing Maligar, a contemporary twist on traditional stranded colourwork garments that knitters will adore! This stunning yoke sweater features a captivating combination of two distinct colour patterns that occur simultaneously—creating a joyful and dynamic knitting experience. The sleeves showcase a simple and easy-to-memorize pattern, while the body boasts a more intricate design that will keep you engaged and challenged. Maligar is the perfect opportunity for focused and concentrated knitting, allowing your mind to unwind and stay centered as you create something beautiful.

But don’t worry, there’s ample opportunity for relaxation, too! After all the exhilarating colourwork is finished (which isn’t as daunting as it sounds!), you can sit back and enjoy the soothing rhythm of plain stockinette stitches. This familiar technique is one that you can probably do with your eyes closed, making it a delightful way to complete the rest of your stunning garment.

In terms of construction, Maligar is a seamless sweater that is skillfully worked from the top down. It features the innovative contiguous set-in sleeves method, expertly developed by Susie Myers. This technique will give you the perfect fit and a polished look without the hassle of complex assembly.

The finishing touch of this exquisite project entails neck finishing, which involves picking up stitches around the neckline and performing an elegant I-cord bind-off all the way around. This final detail adds a sophisticated flair to the overall design and ensures that your Maligar sweater is not only beautiful but also functional and comfortable to wear.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, Maligar promises a rewarding and enjoyable experience. Explore the world of stranded colourwork and create a timeless piece that you’ll cherish for years to come!
