Demi Crop

The Demi Crop is a cropped pullover featuring a unique lace panel that runs up the center front and sleeves, giving the bottom of both the body and sleeves a one-of-a-kind curved edge. Textured stitches on the sides and back add interest and make for an engaging project. This design’s cropped length and wide sleeves give it a whimsical, romantic feel and make it perfect for layering over a dress or tunic. The design is knit in pieces, and the saddle sleeves are sewn to the drop shoulder for a dramatic touch. Knit up in Sunflower Knit Roots Fingering yarn available in a variety of lovely naturally dyed shades; this design is just as much fun to knit as it is to wear!
