ABOUT

The Maisie Sweater is an all-over cabled textured sweater. It’s worked top down in a modified drop shoulder construction with a folded collar. It has a little more ease compared to its cardigan counterpart for a more relaxed fit.

This pattern is charted and does not have written instructions for the charts. This pattern is best suited for intermediate knitters.

SIZING

The Maisie sweater is designed to be worn with approximately 8-10 in / 20-25 cm of positive ease, meaning the circumference of the sweater is approximately 8-10 in / 20-25 cm larger than your bust. The grey sweater was knit to suggested length, the navy sweater was worked with an extra chart repeat on the body (approx. 3.75 in / 9.5 cm longer.
