MAXIME Sweater - PDF knitting pattern

PDF knitting pattern from Paula M

The MAXIME Sweater is an oversized cut turtleneck sweater with wide sleeves and distinctive ribbed cuffs.

The sweater is knitted from the top down. First, the upper back is knitted in rows and the shoulder slope is formed with the help of increases. Then right and left front pieces are knitted directly to the back piece. Before the two front pieces are joined, the left front piece, back piece and right front piece are joined together and at the same time stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the side edges of the front pieces. Continue to knit in rows until the neckline is formed, working increases for the sleeves in parallel. After the work is closed to the round, increases for the body are knitted next to the sleeve increases, similar to a raglan sweater. Later, the work is divided and the body and sleeves are finished separately. Finally, for the turtleneck, stitches from the neckline are picked up and knit in half brioche, as are the cuffs on the sleeves and torso, with the "curly" side of the pattern being the front. The MAXIME sweater can be knitted in one color or with stripes.
