‘Heart Leaves Cardigan’ is a bottom-up raglan cardigan inspired by heart-shaped leaves.
It features a unique design with a continuous pattern of heart leaves along the stems. While knitting, it looks like a brioche stitch, but after washing, it opens up flat to reveal its distinctive look.

Worked in a bottom-up construction, the body is knitted in one piece, and the sleeves are worked separately in the round. They are then joined at the yoke to be knitted together, minimizing seaming.
Created with straightforward techniques, this pattern is both easy and fun to complete.

‘Heart Leaves Cardigan’ is provided in 5 sizes, XS, S, M, L, XL, and is designed to have approx 10~15 cm (4~6 inches) of positive ease.
