This elegant little cropped sweater is really just an adaptation of a circular shawl, with a tidy little waistband to gather in the fullness. It makes a wonderful transitional piece for in-between seasons or chilly summer evenings. I have made this one in a soft cotton blend for everyday wear, but imagine it in something with sparkle and drape for evening wear, too!

A note on the sizing: the given measurement is the underbust measurement, since that is where the sweater is fitted. Also, it should be worn with negative ease of 1”-5”.

(The stated gauge is with the larger needles)
