“A shortie sweater is an ideal extra for your cruise wardrobe. Slip it over a blouse or bodysuit; team it with pants or a skirt.”

Requires 2 skeins of the MC and 1(2, 2, 2) of the CC.

This cropped sweater or vest has a wide ribbed waistband sitting right at the waistline. The scoop neckline and the sleeve edges are also ribbed, and each of these components is done in a darker color than the main bodice. The main bodice is done in a textured rib stitch. The set-in sleeves are very short and slightly puffed. The original sweater is done in a dark cranberry red for the ribbing, and a lighter red for the main bodice.
