Maya Sweater

This sweater is worked from the bottom up with a V neck that has additional paired decreases and eyelets to create the tunnel for the front ties. The ties are 2 long i-cords that weave along the eyelets, beginning at the shoulder seam and ending at the center front. The sleeves and collar trim are knit onto the body making this pattern great for knitters who are new to garment construction and veteran knitters alike. There is an optional contrasting crochet edge applied to the edge of the collar that is included within the pattern We are overjoyed to have partnered with Fiction Fiber to create the Fiction X Degen Colorway Collection specially for this piece.
