The top-down version is worked in stocking stitch with raglan increases, with short rows used to create the shaped, deeper neckline before the work is divided for the sleeves, front and back.

Both versions finish with those rather fabulous trumpet-shaped sleeves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fitted shape gives Lyra a more streamlined silhouette than a big, slouchy jumper, while the fluffy Ballerina Chunky Mohair keeps the finished sweater soft, light and wonderfully cosy.
