Love Bomber
Cosy, chunky, and quick to knit — the Love Bomber is an oversized drop-shoulder cardigan with a ribbed neckline, balloon cuffs, and a sweet heart motif on the back. A statement piece you'll reach for every season.
Why You'll Love It
- Designed by Purl Foundry — a New Zealand knitwear designer
- Chunky 15mm needles — knits up in record time
- Oversized fit with drop shoulders and balloon cuffs
- Heart motif on the back with chart included in pattern
- Three sizes (A, B, C) with generous ease
- Knit flat from the bottom up, sleeves worked in the round top-down
- Printed pattern included — posted to you with your order
- Locally stocked and shipped from Rangiora, New Zealand
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.
