Inspired by our Lykens Hat, the Lykens Pullover is a classic shape that is updated with a modern high/low hemline. The contrast between the slip stitch honeycomb on the front and Stockinette stitch on the back creates the gentle curve of the hem (no short rows required).

When measuring the sweater for length, measure along the center front of the sweater for the best fit.

The sweater is designed to fit with 1-2” of ease. The sample shown is in size 33.75” with 2” of ease.

The sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up; the sleeves are worked and then joined to the body to complete the yoke shaping.

You will need 720 (800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1210, 1330) yards of the Main Color, and 100 (110, 125, 140, 155, 170, 190) yards of the Contrast Color. Our sample sweater was worked in Faun (MC) and Silt (CC).
