Description
Create a truly unforgettable piece with our Bear and Cubs Cardigan, crafted from our classic graph‑style pattern. This striking design captures the beauty of the wilderness with its bold bear motif, making it the perfect project for anyone who loves nature, heritage knits, or standout handmade garments.
The cardigan features your choice of set‑in or raglan sleeves for a personalized fit, along with a cozy shawl collar that adds warmth, structure, and timeless charm. Every detail is designed to deliver comfort, durability, and that signature Mary Maxim look knitters have cherished for generations.
