The Full Hearts Crew is a classic crew-neck sweater that works up quickly in worsted weight yarn. It is worked from the bottom up, with a chart for the popcorn stitches and short rows for the neck shaping. This is a great sweater for the beginner - intermediate knitter looking to add a few new skills to their toolbox. My sweaters are sized to accommodate layering, so please check measurements closely.
