Lopapeysa Crystal Pattern Details

Lopapeysa “Crystal” is a seamless, top-down sweater worked in the round with a decorative stranded colourwork yoke. After the yoke, the body and sleeves are separated and worked in stockinette stitch. Short-row shaping after the yoke improves the fit at the back neck. Ribbing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem gives the sweater a clean, finished look.

The sweater is an oversized design with 25 cm of positive ease in all sizes.
