Knitting is my hobby and not my main source of income. As such, I’ve decided that the proceeds of this pattern will go to NYCLU, the New York chapter of the ACLU. That said, if you are not financially able to purchase my pattern, please reach out.

The Astor Crop is a yoke pattern with stranded colorwork, knit top-down with worsted weight yarn. The sleeves are knit separately after the body. There is optional short row shaping in the back to raise the neck slightly. It can easily be adapted to be longer or shorter, with long or ¾ sleeves - follow your heart!

I had it test knit in the following sizes, but please let me know if your final garment does not align with this sizing and yardage (or if it does!):

S(M, L, XL) with 2-4” (5-10cm) ease
35.5(39.5, 42, 45.5)in/90(100,107,116)cm Bust Circumference

MC: 535 (650,765,880) yards/490 (595,700,805) meters
CC: 160 (170,180,185) yards/150 (155,165,167) meters

If your preferred size isn’t reflected here, I’m happy (thrilled, even!) to work with you to calculate the adjustments to work this pattern in your size and include it in the pattern for others.
