Bliss Bomb is a simple summer singlet, which is knit from the bottom up starting with a rolled hem. It is knit in the round, and then divides at the underarms and is knitted flat for both front and back bodice panels. Eyelets are created at the top of the bodice panels and an cord, braid or ribbon is threaded through the eyelets to act as the sleeve straps and gather the neckline.

The pattern includes a Fair Isle heart border chart designed by Erssie Major. Bliss Bomb can be knit with or without the border and is perfect to showcase striped or variegated yarn. Basic chart reading knowledge is assumed if completing the singlet including the charted hearts.

This pattern is also available in the Bliss Bomb e-Book and in 7 different sizes and 3 different yarn weights without the Fair Isle hearts:

• 10ply/Worsted
• 8ply/DK
