I love the simple magic of a knit and purl stitch. This little crop cleverly combines these two stitches to create a wonderful textured panel that just pops. This versatile piece is a great addition to any hand made wardrobe.

Finished Measurements
Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
Finished bust circumference: 86.7 (92, 102.6, 111.5, 120.35, 132.74, 143.36, 152.2) cm / 34 (36.2, 40.4, 44, 47.38, 52.25, 56.44, 60)”

Recommended to be worn with 2/4” of -/+ ease at the bust.

To find the size you want to knit, measure your bust, and decide how much ease you want to have, then knit the size that has a finished measurement closest to your desired ease.
NOTE: The textured panel on the front of this sweater (both versions) looks BEST when aggressively blocked VERTICALLY, so when choosing a size, be mindful of allowing yourself enough ease for the front to lay un-stretched horizontally.

Gauge
23 sts x 29 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” knit flat, in stockinette stitch, on larger needle, after blocking
