Enjoy knitting the wonderfully easy going, very casual Maha sweater.

As of 8/24/22 an updated PDF is available, PM me if you got an earlier version.

This loose fitting top is just great to wear and really, all year round. During the summer months it feels open and airy, letting plenty of air in when worn over a tank top or interesting bra and during the colder months simply slip it over a long sleeve tee. The long sleeves can be folded over for a more relaxed look.

The yarns used here make this top feel super airy and light, the rich textures are an extra bonus.
The two contrasting colors work well together and liven things up a bit. The colors meet seamlessly at the top of the sleeves and shoulders, as the entire sweater is knitted in one piece.
The sides of the body and under arms as well as the neckline are embellished, seamed with a simple crochet stitch. No worries, you can do this!

The back side is darker and a bit longer, the front neckline is slightly scooped and the back neckline is straight, there are plenty of added details here in this seemingly simple top.

For bust sizes ranging from 34/36, 38/40, 42/44, 46/48/50, 52. A positive ease of 8” is worked into each size, so pick your actual bust size to knit.

The pattern is fully written and features photos to guide you as well.
