Nautical Cropped Sweater
“This is a great jumper for the summer as it’s cropped with shorter sleeves and a loose fit. The colours work well as a contrast and the easy slip stitch pattern on the body means that you’re only ever working with one colour.”
JO ALLPORT
This pattern is much easier than it looks as you are essentially working stripes. By slipping certain stitches across the row, you are reintroducing a previous colour and this means you can work some lovely intricate designs without stranding the yarn. Just pay attention to whether the yarn should be at the front of the needles or at the back while you are slipping your stitches.
