Introducing the Love Bomber knitting pattern! This cozy drop-shoulder cardigan is made with thick yarn and chunky needles, allowing it to knit up in record time. Featuring a ribbed neckline, over-sized fit, and balloon cuffs, this cardigan is sure to become a staple in your wardrobe. The heart motif on the back adds a touch of whimsy.
The Love Bomber comes in three size options and is knit from the bottom up as one piece before dividing off at the underarms. The sleeves are knit in the round from top down, making for a seamless finish.
Please note that due to the bulky yarn used in this pattern, it is not recommended to use straight needles. We suggest using circular needles to accommodate the extra length.
This pattern is best suited for advanced level knitters and above. For those who prefer visual aids, the pattern includes a chart for the heart motif. Start knitting your own Love Bomber today and enjoy the process of creating a cozy, statement cardigan!
