Lucca has a wonderful retro vibe with its wide-funnel neck, cropped body and tapered sleeves. It’s simple to knit and very cosy to wear. Lucca is sure to become a winter-wardrobe staple.
Pattern Notes
Lucca is knit using two strands of our fluffy ACM, which creates a very cosy fabric that is super light to wear. I used two different colours to create a fun marled effect.
The funnel neck is worked as a folded neckband, which adds to the cosiness of this sweater. The sweater is knit from the top down and also features raglan shaping and tapered sleeves.
Lucca was designed to be worn with 0-2.5” (0-6.5cm) positive ease around the bust. Yardages have been calculated for a cropped sweater (sitting at high hip) so, if you plan on making the body longer, make sure you add more yardage.

Difficulty Level
Suited for advanced beginners to experienced.
Yarn
Skein ACM
38% Baby Alpaca, 37% Pima Cotton, 25% Merino.
437yards (400 metres) in 100g
4 (4, 4, 4, 4)[6, 6, 6, 6, 6]{6, 6, 8, 8, 8} skeins.
Sample colourways – Blue Jeans and Brass.
Yarns are held double throughout the project.
The yardage given is for knitting a marled version of the sweater, which means knitting with two strands of two different colours. For this, you will need exactly half the amount per colour (e.g. I used 2 skeins of Blue Jeans and 2 skeins of Brass - 4 skeins total for size 3).
Needles
5.5 mm (US 9) circular needles.
4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles.
Having a range of cables for this project will come in very handy. I suggest 32″(80cm) for the body, and your preferred size for working small circumferences for the neck and sleeves.
