Maria sweater is a bottom-up, seamless pullover with an elegant textured design and a relaxed fit. It is worked in the round from the hem up and features double moss stitch and cable panels for structure and detail.
The body is split at the underarm, and the front and back are worked flat, with short-row shaping for well-fitted shoulders. The pieces are then joined using a three-needle bind-off, and the neckline is finished with folded ribbing.
The sleeves are picked up around the armholes and worked top-down in the round, incorporating the double moss stitch and cable pattern. They are finished with 1x1 ribbing for a refined look.
