Notes

This pattern is worked using tapestry crochet, with the non-working yarn carried through each stitch.

First, make the front and back panels, then sew the shoulders together. Next, work the sleeves and sew the body sides and sleeves together. Finally, finish by working one round of single crochet stitches around the neckline.

Top is cropped, but it can be easily lengthened with instructions provided in the pattern.

Yarn A is the main color. When working tiny hearts the instructions in the pattern for example say: “(B) th”. That means only the heart will be made with yarn B.
