About the Pattern

The Love Bomber is knit from the bottom up as one piece before dividing at the underarms. The sleeves are then knit in the round from the top down using the magic loop method. Due to the bulky yarn, circular needles are strongly recommended — straight needles are not suitable for this pattern. Best suited for advanced knitters and above.
