MAKLIK is the African term for ‘simplicity’. For me, this MAKLIK cardigan translates the power of simplicity, but very carefully chosen simplicity. Simplicity in a knit, simplicity in a garment. It is a stylish cardigan, with a classic and comfortable fit, suitable for any occasion.
The MAKLIK cardigan is knitted back and forth on a circular needle, from top to bottom. Short rows and raglan increases are used to form the yoke. The sleeves are knitted in the round and the front bands will be added later.
