Fairisle Hearts Sweater
A cute sweater with a pretty heart motif. A joy to knit, we loved watching the geometric pattern (and of course those adorable hearts) appear as the easy fairisle yoke was completed.
We work from the top down 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 metric and imperial measurements are given and the colourwork section is fully charted. Sample is worn with 2.5 cm/1” negative ease.
