Maxome is a cozy, casual, everyday sweater, worked in all-over Seed Stitch with ribbed edges. Sweater begins at the top, where you will work back and forth to shape the scooped neck before joining to work in the round. The body is worked in the round to the split hem, where the back is worked slightly longer than the front and finished with ribbing.
The long sleeves are worked in the round and slightly tapered, ending with a loose wrist opening. Also included are directions for more fitted or blousy sleeves.
