Mayble Sweater is a chunky, oversized and comfy style sweater. This sweater was designed with a mockneck, cropped body length and oversized fit for comfortable wear.
A few sections of Seed stitch and rhombus were added to create a cute and cozy textures.
It’s a beginner friendly pattern, just basic techniques used.
Mayble Sweater can be worked just in a few days, using chunky yarn and large needles. It’s perfect for everyday wear or for special occasions, combined with your favorite dresses or with jeans.

Mayble Sweater is worked bottom up and seamlessly.
At first, you work body in the round to the underarms. Then divide for back and front and work yokes flat separately. Once back and front yokes are finished, shoulders are joined together using Three needles bind-off method. Stitches for sleeves are picked up along the armholes and sleeves are worked top down in the round. The last touch – stitches for mockneck are picked up and worked in the round.
