The Sprout Crop Tee is a boxy oversized crop top featuring a broken seed stitch pattern in 2 colors. It is easily modifiable with its broad stripes that can be a potential to showcase different colors for a stash busting project. It also features graphic raglan lines and faux seams on either side of the bodice, and a High- low split hem.

The Yarn used for this project is the Jody Long Alba Yarn which is a Merino Alpaca Blend. It is a very luscious yarn that drapes well and with a wonderful palette of tweedy colors. I highly recommend this yarn.

The Alba yarn is a sport weight yarn, but it feels more like a fingering weight than a light DK. So for yarn substitution it is recommended to use fingering weight yarn.

This is the first women’s garment I have designed and there will definitely be more.

This design has been possible through the support of Knitting Fever Inc. and Jody Long Yarns.

Measure your bust and add 5/10cm (2-4”). Make the size closest to the number obtained. Sample was worn with a model with a 91.5cm (36”) bust, the sample is size 104cm (40 3/4 ”). So the garment has 12.5cm (4 3/4”) of ease on the model.
