The Fox Fox Sake sweater is Maxim Cyr’s very first design. It was the perfect way to merge his love for illustration with knitting. Knitted from the top down, this stranded colourwork sweater pattern features short rows around the collar to add length at the back. Experience with stranded colourwork is recommended before taking on this project.
