The Maria Riscas is a very warm, lightweight, and comfortable sweater, both to knit and to wear.
This sweater has a relatively simple construction, with dropped shoulders.
It has a few details that give it personality, such as the increase details at the armholes and the striped pattern.
It is knitted from the bottom up, in the round, up until to the armhole zone. From there, the back and front are knitted separately, in right and wrong rows, until finishing with the neckline. Finally, stitches are picked up to knit the sleeves.
