Lyse is a cosy, oversized raglan pullover with 3/4 length sleeves and a curved split hem. A row of decorative eyelets runs down each sleeve and the front and back of the pullover, flanked on the front and back by diagonal lines created using twisted stitches. The wide crew neck and loose sleeves make this a great sweater for throwing over cool dresses on summer evenings.

Construction: The body is knit from the bottom up, begun in 2 pieces which are shaped using short rows and then joined to work in round. The sleeves are knit in the round from the cuff up and then joined with the body to knit the raglan shaping in the round, with short rows knit flat to shape the neck. A sewn bind off is recommended to give a stretchy finish around the crewneck.
