We've just released a new knitting pattern! Loveheart Crop is a cute cropped tee with a delicate lace yoke. The zigzag lace design is interspersed with heart shaped double nupps, giving this crop its name.

We work from the bottom up using a simple yoked construction, all edgings are finished in neat twisted ribbing, and it’s a completely seamless knit. We give instructions for 9 sizes to fit bust 70-155 cm/28–62”. Both written instructions and charts are given for lace patterns. Measurements are given in both imperial and metric units.

It's also available on Etsy and Ravelry.

An extra note on double nupps!

In the photographed pattern, I worked nupps as follows.
Double Nupp: k3tog very loosely, pulling yarn through further than usual, without slipping them off the left needle, then (yo, k3tog loosely) into the same three sts five times. You should have 11 stitches from 3. Drop the 3 sts from the left needle. On the next round when you get to these 11 sts, k5tog, k1, k5tog.

However, one of my fabulous testers worked them in a slightly different way, which I though was worth sharing! On the second round, she worked the 11 sts as k5tog, k1, k5tog through back loops.

Here's what the two look like:

The one on the left is done as stared in the pattern, and the one on the right uses k5tog tbl. Your choice which one you prefer!!
