Aztec Mazes

A casual-fitting sweater in seven sizes (XS/S/M/L/1X/2X/3X), with slightly-dropped shoulder, easy gansey neck, and torso shaping. 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.
Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in a variation in size.
