Named after lykke, the Scandinavian word for "luck" and "happiness," the Lykke pullover is a masterclass in elegant, effortless style. Designed by Sari Nordlund, this delicately detailed garment features a modern, boxy silhouette and dropped shoulders, offering a relaxed fit that doesn't sacrifice sophistication. The striking chevron motif is created through a sequence of increases and decreases rather than stranded colourwork. For a easier experience, he increases over the chevron pattern on the back and front neck are fully charted.
