MAKLIK is the African term for ‘simplicity’. For me, this MAKLIK 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 pullover is knitted from top to bottom in the round on a circular knitting needle. Short rows and raglan increases are used to form the yoke. The sleeves are also knitted in the round.
