The Wild at Heart Sweater is a child’s sweater I designed for my daughter. While the name fits the pattern, it mostly fits her personality.
The sweater is a set-in sleeve design that is knitted from the bottom up. Though it does have set in sleeves, there are no seams in the entire sweater as I personally hate seaming. Instead, I used top down sleeves and the three-needle bind off to achieve the same look.
This pattern is Intermediate in difficulty because of the techniques and stitches used. These include: cabling, wrap and turn (for short rows), picking up stitches, ssk, k2tog, and three needle bind off. All techniques are explained in the pattern, except for picking up stitches.
