Knit this striking Indian Eagle Cardigan using our vintage graph‑style pattern—a classic Mary Maxim design celebrated for its bold imagery and beautifully detailed motifs. This heritage sweater is a rewarding knit, offering both visual impact and timeless craftsmanship. The pattern features your choice of comfy raglan sleeves or a sleek set‑in style, allowing you to tailor the fit to your preference. A cozy shawl collar adds warmth and structure, and you can finish the cardigan with either a button front or a zippered closure for a look that suits your style.

Originally knit using Mary Maxim Northland wool, which offered 80 yards per skein at the time, this design pairs wonderfully with today’s selection of bulky yarns—including Mary Maxim Titan, still beloved for its softness, durability, and rich color options. Please note that yardages may have changed, so be sure to check your yarn labels as you plan.
