The Sweetest Heart Sweater is a relaxed, boyfriend-fit sweater featuring wide, comfortable sleeves. The construction begins at the top of the back neck, with increases for the back width, and continues to form the back of the armholes. Each shoulder is then picked up individually before connecting at the front neck. The front is then worked until the front half of the armholes are created. The back and front are joined and worked in the round until the bottom hem is completed. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round for a relaxed fit, with an option for a more fitted sleeve. Finally, the neckline is picked up and finished with ribbing to complete the sweater.
