HEARTS Sweater

Pattern HEARTS Sweater - Top Down Sweater with a border of hearts 

HEARTS Sweater is knitted from the top down in one piece. The collar is knitted first, then the circular yoke is worked. Short rows are used to shape the neck. Body and sleeves are knitted from the top down.
Colourwork showing hearts is patterning the yoke.
Use contrasting colours or keep it more quiet by using two neutrals / tone in tone colours - both will look beautiful.
Instructions for the colourwork pattern are provided as chart.

The sweater has been designed to fit with a positive ease of approx. 8” (20 cm). It is also looking good with a positive ease of approx. 12” (30 cm). Choose your size according to your desired fit / ease.

You can substitute this yarn using a lace weight Mohair/Silk Blend held fourfold.
