Where My Heart Is
Introducing Where My Heart Is, a simply shaped pullover worked overall in wide ribbing. This design is knit bottom up and in-the-round, with sleeves in-the-round and mostly seamless, except for the sleeve caps that are briefly shaped with short rows at their ends and set in. Its mock turtleneck collar continues the visual vertical stripes of its bodice and sleeves. Worked in sport weight yarn, you'll find this multi-seasonal knit full of function and fun. Enjoy!
