FINISHING
Sew raglan seams of Front, Back and Sleeves, leaving right back raglan seam unsewn for now.
Embroidery
Hearts on Front and Sleeves are worked in duplicate st (sometimes called Swiss
Darning). Duplicate st works over top of your original st, ‘duplicating’ the
st in a new color.
Using photo as guide for placement, and following charts, embroider duplicate st hearts. Embroider one large heart and one small heart on Front and one large heart on left Sleeve.
Here’s how to duplicate st:
- Thread your blunt needle with a 24 in. (61 cm) length of yarn B.
- Find the column of sts on your Sweater where you’d like to embroider the lower tip of the heart. You’ll see that the sts in the column look like V’s.
- Bring your threaded needle through the fabric of the Sweater, from the wrong side out to the right side at the point of the V.
- Now slide the needle under the stitch ABOVE the one you’re duplicating.
- Now insert the needle from front to back at the same point you began. You will have made a V in yarn color B over the V in yarn color A!
- Continue in this same way to embroider all the sts on the chart.
- When you’re finished, bring the yarn through to the wrong side of the Sweater and knot.
