Maja Sweater

The Maja Sweater is an ideal knitting pattern for those who want to create a timeless, loose-fitting and comfortable sweater, a true wardrobe essential. With its round neckline and dropped shoulders, it offers a relaxed look that easily complements any outfit.

The 1x1 ribbed cuffs add a classic touch, while the accentuated decreases on the sides of the sleeves structure the design and give it a beautiful drape. The details of horizontal rows of stitches give the sweater that little something extra that makes it unique.

The Maja Sweater is knitted with 6 mm needles, making the project both enjoyable, quick and fun. This pattern is perfect for showcasing exceptional yarns: whether it's a luxurious, slightly shiny yarn or a more rustic, hand-dyed wool. The Maja Sweater is a true canvas for your finest wools, allowing them to express themselves fully.

Before starting, it is recommended to make a swatch to check that you achieve the correct tension.
