Pattern notes:
This cute little cropped sweater is knit in the round from the top down. Short rows are used to shape the neckline. A lace and cable pattern is worked down the front of the sweater and the ¾ length sleeves are knit in stockinette stitch, both are finished with twisted ribbing. It’s a good idea to read the whole pattern before beginning 
