The Maya sweater is a hip-length style knit with a mock neck and long narrowing sleeves. This sweater is worked top-down in Stockinette stitch pattern in raglan using increases M1R and M1L. Neck, cuffs, and hem are worked in a Rib stitch pattern. The sweater has a neckline. The sweater body is worked straight, therefore it can be easily made longer and of course, more yarns should be estimated. The Maya sweater is a cozy oversize knit that has 30 cm (12in) of positive ease so it is always lovely to wear.
