Mayu is a top-down, seamless, raglan sleeve construction sweater. The cable down the front, and the color block pattern help to keep your interest while knitting. Best thing is that Mayu knits up super quick in the Paloma Tweed (or any similarly gauged bulky weight yarn), and so the project just flies off your needles!

Mayu was originally designed to be that super comfy sweater that ends up being your default sweater, once winter hits. With that in mind, the intended ease is meant to be up to +4”, but Mayu can be comfortably worn from anywhere between -2” to +4”. The model (me) is wearing a 39.75” bust circumference sweater with about 3” of positive ease. Updated note: the model has changed sizes and is now approximately a 40” bust and still wears the 39.75” Mayu comfortably. :o)
