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.

Size guide
