Lyon Sweater - Chunky Edition

The Lyon Sweater Chunky Edition is a thick striped sweater, knitted top-down. First, increases are made to shape the back piece. Stitches are picked up at the shoulders, and a small section is knitted. Then, stitches are picked up from the sides of the newly knitted piece, and it can be knitted in the round over the back, sleeves, and front. The body and sleeves are separated under the armholes and finished in the round. Finally, the turtleneck is knitted to complete the look.
