The Lonely Hearts sweater is made in two pieces, a back and a front. You will knit each piece separately in stocking stitch with a heart intarsia pattern, before joining your shoulder seams and picking up and knitting the neck rib trim. The sleeves are then picked up from the body of the sweater to avoid any bulky armhole seams.
This sweater is knitted with the Crazy Sexy wool from Wool and the Gang included in the kit. 2 colors are needed: you will need 4-5 skeins of color A and 3-4 skeins of color B (depending on the size)
