Maitland Sweater

The Maitland Sweater is an intermediate drop shoulder sweater, with an all over textured design. This isn’t a good starter sweater, unless you’re adventurous, in which case there are plenty of videos and linked resources to help you learn! The sweater is knit from the top down; first the back is knit, stitches are picked up to create the front panels and shape the neckline, then the front and the back are joined in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up to create the sleeves. The pattern is only provided in charts - it is not written out. Pattern Language: English Skill Level: Intermediate Size guide The pattern includes directions for 10 sizes. The dimensions are for the sweater circumference and the length from the top of the back to the bottom. When finding your size, I recommend measuring your bust and choosing a positive ease of 10-12” from your bust measurement.
