This is the Heart’s Desire Sweater and it is just waiting for you to make it yours! There’s so many different ways to create the striping on this sweater, it truly is up to your heart’s desire!

The pattern is SIZE INCLUSIVE, with directions for sizes XS - 5XL; bust measurements of 28” - 63”. So there should be a size for you! The sweater is meant to be worn with 13”-16” of positive ease. But, you can always make a size down if you’d like a more form fitting sweater, or a size up if you want to go for that extra oversized fit.

The sweater is created using DK weight 3 yarn and a 4mm hook. I found this yarn and hook combo the best for creating a nice oversized pull-over with out having too much bulk or weight. For the sample sweater, I used a combination of Lion Brand Mandala Yarn and Paintbox Yarns Simply DK. The Mandala created an awesome ombre effect on the sweater. However, you can use a rainbow of solids, just 2 colors, or make the whole sweater only one solid color. It’s really up to you.

Make it however your heart desires!
