Cotton Crop

The Cotton Crop is an easy to knit and wear pullover that is beautiful in its simplicity. This cropped sweater knits up satisfyingly quickly in a heavy worsted weight yarn. The seamless design and majority of the sweater being worked in stockinette stitch makes for a great beginner level garment. A bit of garter stitch on the neckline, hem and sleeve cuffs, and the slightly thick-and-thin texture of the yarn, makes for a classic yet interesting design. The Cotton Crop is a great layering sweater for those times when you want to look stylish but don’t want to overheat in wool or other animal fibers!
