Aztec Mazes

A casual-fitting unisex sweater available to knit in seven sizes (XS/S/M/L/1X/2X/3X), The slightly-dropped shoulder, easy gansey neck, and torso shaping make this a stylish favorite of both men and women. The body is knit in a fascinating knit/purl maze pattern, accented with cable panels. Sweater is worked in the round to the underarm, then split to work the front and back yokes flat. Sleeves are knit flat and seamed.
