Lyon Sweater - Chunky Edition

Lyon Sweater - Chunky Edition is knitted from the top down. First, the top part of the back is knitted with increases. Then, the shoulder sections are knitted out from the picked-up stitches at 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 the 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 polo collar is knitted. Lyon Sweater - Chunky Edition is knitted with stripes, and their placement is specified in the pattern. 

Size guide

Lyon Sweater - Chunky Edition should have a positive ease of approximately 20 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement, measured around 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. If you, for example, measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has a width of 115 cm and will give a positive ease of 25 cm in the above example.
