look…..this was a funny little jokey joke that i went through with. it’s a riff on the infamous zara super-cropped sweater, because it’s ridiculous and i refused to pay money for it. so I wrote an entire pattern and spent weeks knitting.

sizing: 1(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7), equaling a neck circumference of approximately 11(12.25)(14.5)(15.75)(17)(18.25)(19.5) inches. the sleeves are customizable.

due to the recipe-like nature of this pattern, yardage varied significantly between my test-knitters. for your convenience, I’ve attached a chart indicating the tested sizes, arm length, yarn weight, and size made. per my estimates, most of the 4 smallest sizes require between 200 and 300 grams of yarn, regardless of the weight.

this pattern is size inclusive to as large as you may need it to be! if you do adapt this in a larger or smaller size than is listed here, please let me know your stitch counts and i’ll happily update the pattern! this pattern has only been tested through a size 4, so if you would like to test a large size, please DM me!

I want to make my pattern accessible while still valuing the time and effort that went into developing this design. I know money is tight right now because we’re still in this dang pandemic, so you can use code halfoff for 50% off.
