Heartleaf is a feminine sweater with a vintage touch and delicate structure. It is worked bottom-up, featuring a decorative eyelet pattern reminiscent of heart-shaped foliage. The fit is classic with a modern twist – slightly oversized with generous ease.

Heartleaf is knitted holding one strand of silk mohair together with one strand of merino on 4 mm (US 6) needles. The body is worked in the round from the bottom up, then front and back are completed separately. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are knitted in the round from the top down, allowing easy adjustment of sleeve length.

The pattern includes instructions for both a V-neck and a keyhole neckline with ties.
