Description

This knitting pattern is in English.

The Lyon Sweater is worked from the top down.

Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the sides of the shoulders and the rest of the yoke is worked together on the circular needle. first back and forth and then in the round. The body is worked in the round on a circular needle. and the sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. At the end a folded neck edge with built in double knitting is worked. The Lyon Sweater is worked with stripes. the placements of which are described in the pattern.
