MAKLIK is the African term for ‘simplicity’. For me, this MAKLIK mini pullover translates the power of simplicity, but very carefully chosen simplicity. Simplicity in a knit, simplicity in a garment. It is a stylish sweater, with a classic and comfortable fit, suitable for any occasion.

The MAKLIK mini cardigan is knitted back and forth on a circular needle, from top to bottom. Short rows and raglan increases are used to form the yoke. The body is also knitted back and forth. The sleeves are also knitted in the round and the front bands will be added later.
