The Alli is a true collaboration. Allison and Crow and Finch feel very strongly that plus sizes should be able to feel not only comfortable, but also sexy in their clothing. Designing this top together, we took into consideration the way we like to dress. This cropped top looks great under dungarees or overalls, as well as complementing a favorite dress or high waisted jeans.
With several sleeve and length options the Alli is easily customized. Knit with Allison Barnes Yarn basic sock, which is a 80% SW merino, 20% Nylon base, this top can become a year round wardrobe staple.

GAUGE

25 sts by 36 rows in 4” Garter st – blocked

Please note that garter stitch blocks drastically. It is important to measure gauge both unblocked and blocked to ensure that desired length will be met as accurately as possible.

Notes from the Designers:

• Please be advised that the yardage/meterage are based on the top being knit per pattern with gauge being met. Any alterations to the pattern or failure to meet gauge will affect the yardage needed.
• Swatching is important! Not swatching to check gauge can result in the item being to large or small; causing the item to not fit as intended.
