The Maman Sweater was designed to bring an easy-to-knit, classic chic sweater to your wardrobe. With its casual, oversized fit and stripe design, you can throw it on for the school run or the office and always look your best. Details on sizing and materials are listed below!

Construction. This round-yoke sweater is knitted top down with KLL increases. The neckband is folded and knitted together before the back and shoulders are shaped with German short rows. The body features a split hem that is folded at the end for a clean finish. The length of the sweater is slightly cropped. After the sweater has been blocked, the word Maman (or any word you fancy) is embroidered in a split back stitch. The Bébé Sweater is the junior version for those of you who love a maman et bébé matching moment just as much as me.

Sizing. The sweater is graded into 16 sizes (A-P) for wearer bust circumferences between 75cm-150cm (30-60 inches) and has 13cm (5¼ inches) of positive ease. Bust adjustments were made for sizes G-P (wearer bust circumference 105cm-150cm (42-60 inches)) to allocate more stitches to the front and less to the back of the sweater, making room for the bust. A full sizing chart is shown in the pictures.

Tutorials. There are video tutorials available for extra help on the following techniques: folded neckband, KLL increases, German short rows, jogless stripes, split hems, simultaneously binding off and sewing on hems and all about knitwear embroidery.

The sweater pictured (size E, model bust 97cm (39 inches)) is knitted with Drops Lima in White (1101) and Blue Indigo (4305). The cotton embroidery thread is from DMC in colour 453.
