Description
Maxome is a cozy, casual, everyday sweater, worked in all-over Seed Stitch with ribbed edges and long sleeves.
Pullover begins at the neck, worked back and forth to shape the scooped neck before joining to work in the round. Compound raglan shaping is used to increase the body and sleeves at different rates for a great fit.
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 a balloon or fitted sleeve. The ribbed neckband is picked up and worked in the round.
