After some big life changes, I found myself taking an unexpected break from knitting. When I was ready to dust off my needles and find my way back to my favorite pastime, I needed a project to jumpstart my knitting mojo! Something simple, something fun and something I could actually wear ASAP. The Comeback Crop was the answer!
The construction couldn’t be easier. The body is knit seamlessly in the round to the armholes, then divided to work the front and back separately. Seam the shoulders, and quick little sleeves finish it off. Best of all, the Comeback Crop is easily to make your own. Adjust the body length to hit exactly where you like it, or keep knitting those sleeves as long as you want - just make sure to add an extra skein of yarn.
