Lyon Sweater- Chunky Edition - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

It is perfectly fine to substitute the yarn with one strand of Jensen together with one strand of Alpaca 1 as an accompanying thread from Isager.

The Lyon Sweater - Chunky Edition is knitted from top to bottom. First, the upper part of the back is knitted with increases. Then the shoulder sections are knitted from picked-up stitches along the top of the back piece. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulder sections and the rest of the yoke is knitted together on circular needles, first back and forth and then in the round. The body is knitted in the round on circular needles and the sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. Finally, a turtleneck collar is knitted. The Lyon Sweater - Chunky Edition is knitted with stripes, and the placement of these is specified in the pattern.

Size guide

The Lyon Sweater - Chunky Edition should have a positive ease of about 20 cm in the smallest sizes but gradually less in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement, taken on the body, of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Note: These measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a chest width of 115 cm and will in the mentioned example give a positive ease of 25 cm.
