This cropped sweater is knit top down and seamless. If you desire, you can make it a full length sweater or a cropped sweater with short or cropped sleeves. Chose two very contrasting colors to make it pop. It works best if the MC is a lighter color and the CC is a darker color.

This versatile sweater comes out cozy with a plushy brioche yoke and easy stockinette stitch body and sleeves. The gauge is 24 stitches and 32 rows equals 4 inches with the larger needles and the pattern is written with no ease. The final sweater should measure 32.3 (35.3, 38.3, 44, 46.6, 51)“ at the bust.

For a fingering weight sweater, it doesn’t use a whole lot of yarn and it works up quick! It’s also versatile due to the different ways you can chose to make the sleeves plus you chose the length of the body and the fun colors of the brioche yoke. I like to do the collar and cuffs in the CC, too, just to add the pop of color. This will be your new favorite, year round sweater!
