Maragonia

Maragonia is a top down seamless yoke sweater with a deep colorwork chart that has been influenced by historical Polish paper cut-outs (Wycinanki). The neckline is ribbed and is followed by short rows at the back of the neck to create a comfortable fit. This is followed by stranded colourwork featuring bold geometric patterns. The chart continues past the arm and body divide for the smaller sizes. The sleeves are knit in stockinette stitch and the cuffs and body are finished off in ribbing. The cuffs also feature simplified shapes from the yoke colourwork. The body has optional waistline shaping for a flattering fit. **Sizes** XS (S, M, L, XL)(2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) **Chest Circumference of Completed Garment** 78 (90, 102, 114, 125)(137, 144, 158, 167)cm/31.25 (36, 40.75, 45.5, 50)(54.75, 57.5, 63.25, 66.75)" **Suggested Needles** 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles 60 cm/32" long AND circular needles, double-pointed needles or preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round, or two needle sizes smaller than suggested size to obtain gauge. 4.0 mm (US 6) circular needles 60 cm/32" long AND circular needle, double-pointed needles or preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round or appropriate size to obtain gauge.
