Named Maimi, Japanese for smiling with truth, is this sweater adorned with travelling cables, framed with a single cable in each side. Each body part has several cable repeats, while the sleeve only has only one. The pullover is crowned by a twisted rib neckband that ends in a tubular bind off. Maimi is knitted in the soft Norwegian lambswool yarn Sol from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.
