Cutie Crop

The Cutie Crop is a sweet cropped sweater featuring a geometric colorwork motif on the body. The neckline and cuffs are worked in a contrasting color from the body. The boxy drop shoulder fit and boat neckline make for an easy layering piece. The Cutie Crop is knit up in White Dog Farm Vt’s hand dyed farm yarn.

Construction:
The Cutie Crop is knit from the bottom up in the round. The front and back are knit separately flat after separating at the armholes; short rows are worked to create shaping at the shoulders, followed by ribbing at the top edge. Shoulders are seamed using the three needle bind off. Stitches are picked up around each of the armholes and sleeves are worked outward from the body in the round.
