{"product_id":"lexpress-knitting-pattern","title":"L'Express Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eL’Express is a top-down pullover worked in Lamana Como - an ultra-soft and uniquely light 100% superfine merino yarn. Luxurious and warm with dramatic colour-blocking at cuffs and hem, this is basically an elevated sweatshirt, perfect for everyday wear as well as for those occasions when a little casual chic is in order. Generous proportions and minimal shaping make it both modern and uber-comfortable.

We knit our similar Gracious design using a fingering weight at the same gauge and love the drape. We think a sport weight would be equally lovely. While a standard DK weight yarn would work, please note that the fabric may be somewhat denser than intended.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the body and sleeves of this sweater are easily customized, please note that adding length may affect yardage requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntended to be worn with approximately 4-10” \/ 10 - 25.5 cm of positive ease.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePattern details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweater → Pullover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYarn weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e DK (11 wpi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 stitches and 37 rows = 4 inches in Stockinette, after blocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e US 6 - 4.0 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYardage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1195 - 2166 yards (1093 - 1981 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38.5 (41.75, 47, 50.5) (54, 59.5, 62.5)”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/strong\u003e English, French\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a digital pattern (PDF download).
