This knitting pattern is a quick knit, with those thick needles and big yarn! It does require some strength though as the garment gets heavy and the stitches are huge. Being Rustiknits’ bestseller in markets and at shops, it is finally available to you in pattern form. It is an easy knit as far as instructions are concerned and you only need to know the knit and purl stitch, how to cast on and cast off, but it can be tricky with those oversized needles so be forewarned.

This pattern also offers some variations that can be made to the sweater which may be geared to the more experienced beginner knitter.

This oversize-stitch crop, made with the thickest jersey yarn, is such a unique and on-trend piece for your wardrobe. Although it is thick, it can be worn all year around just as you would a cotton sweatshirt. It will keep you warm in the colder temperatures but made of part cotton, it will have a cooling effect in warmer temps. The front of the crop top is shorter than the back, flaring out a little, and gives it an A-line effect when worn. Too cute! The sleeves are 3/4 length and can be folded up for an even shorter look.

One size: measurements as follows:

Front: approx. 14 1/2 ins. (36.8 cm)
Back: approx. 18 ins. (45.7 cm)
Width: approx. 25 ins. (63.5 cm)
