In recognition of the 60th anniversary of Canada’s maple leaf flag, I am thrilled to launch my original Canadian Maple Leaf Flag sweater pattern. This drop shoulder sweater features a ribbed hem, and a rolled collar and cuffs. It has instructions for 4 sizes with finished chest measurements of appx. 97/107/117/127 cm or 38/42/46/50 inches.

The pattern suggests using 4.5 mm (US #7) and 5 mm (US #8) needles, or the size needle required to achieve a gauge of 16 stitches and 24 rows to a 10 cm (4”) square using the 5 mm needle in stockinette stitch.

To knit the sweater as shown, you will need approximately four 113 g (4 oz) skeins with approximately 196 m (215 yards) of Briggs and Little Heritage wool in washed white and two skeins in scarlet. You can order wool through our website under the tab “wool”
