MAXINE Sweater Pattern Kit in CARPE DIEM by LANGYARNS
The MAXINE sweater is a knitted garment worked in CARPE DIEM by LANGYARNS, a worsted/aran weight yarn composed of 70% new wool (merino extrafine, mulesing free) and 30% alpaca. Voluminous and softly structured, this premium blend creates a warm, lightweight fabric with a modern, relaxed feel.
The design combines ribbed edges with expressive cable work and false brioche stitch, building texture and depth without heaviness. The interplay of stitches creates a confident surface pattern that remains balanced and wearable.
This kit includes the LANGYARNS CARPE DIEM required for your selected size and the original LANGYARNS FATTO A MANO 278 pattern publication featuring MAXINE.
