Lyngø sweater (pattern)

The Lyngø Sweater is a soft and timeless sweater knitted in Viking Alpaca Bris and Viking Alpaca Bris Multi. It can be worked either bottom up with raglan decreases or top down with raglan increases. The pattern is available in 7 sizes, and the sample shown is size M.

The clean design is enhanced by a decorative colourwork border near the hem and a contrasting striped neckline. Viking Alpaca Bris creates a lightweight, warm and wonderfully soft sweater, while DROPS Air can also be used as an alternative yarn. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan construction and colourwork.

The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, German, Danish and Swedish.

FROM BOTTOM UP

Here you start with the body, knit the sleeves and join all the pieces together. Then you knit the raglan with the entire piece on the same needle and finish with the neckline.

FROM TOP TO DOWN

Here you start with the neck, knit raglan and divide the work into sleeves and body when the raglan is finished. Then you knit the body first, then the sleeves.
