Maya sweater

Introducing the Maya Sweater, a stylish and cozy hip-length knit designed for comfort and versatility. This fashionable sweater features a mock neck and long, narrowing sleeves, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe. The Maya Sweater is knitted from the top down in a beautiful Stockinette stitch pattern, using raglan construction along with M1R and M1L increases for a smooth and elegant fit. Accentuated by a rib stitch pattern at the neck, cuffs, and hem, this sweater offers both style and structure.

This delightful design includes a pronounced neckline, ensuring a flattering silhouette, while the body of the sweater is worked straight for ease of customization. Because of this design choice, you can easily modify the length, allowing you to create a garment that perfectly suits your preferences.
