Pattern Details
The Maxwell Sweater is created by working two panels and sewing them together. The sleeves and trim are then added at the end. The panels are worked from shoulder to shoulder, creating a unique vertical texture within the body of the garment. The front panel uses a pattern of decreases and increases to create the v-neckline.
After the panels are created and sewn together the sleeves are worked in the round from the armhole down. Then, a ribbing trim is added at the bottom and neckline.
The Yarn
This men’s V-neck crochet sweater is made with the lightweight and soft Stroll Fingering yarn from WeCrochet. This yarn is made of 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon. This yarn can be machine washed on a gentle cycle and tumble dried on low.
It’s soft, lightweight, and comes in a wonderful variety of colors! You’re sure to find one you love.
Some other great yarns for this project would be:
Comfy Fingering – 75% Pima Cotton, 25% Acrylic
Alpaca Cloud Fingering – 100% Superfine Alpaca
You can also use any fingering (#1) weight yarn that you have on hand! Just be sure to check gauge!
Sizing for Men
This pattern comes with instructions for men’s sizes Small to 5X. When choosing your size, I recommend going off of the shoulder to shoulder measurement you will find in the pattern. Since men have broad shoulders, it is important to accommodate for that when choosing a size.
The model in the photos is wearing a size large. His chest circumference is 35″ and his shoulder-to-shoulder measurement is 18″.
