Zero Crops Given is a size inclusive cropped raglan with sizes S - 4XL. The pattern includes directions on how to make the crop the perfect length for your body. Also, we have waist shaping directions so your top fits you just right!

This top pattern is written to have +3” to -3” ease in the bust. The sample is the M size knit to have 0” of ease and a little over 15” long. Also, because I do not have a drastic difference between my bust and waist, I knit with no waist shaping. But, making adjustments for a larger bust to waist ratio is easy and explained in the pattern.

The Zero Crops Given top is knit with Sport weight 2 yarn, but knit with 4.5mm needles, which make the yarn act more like a DK weight 3. The top would look cute knit in a DK weight yarn as well, but make sure you make and block gauge swatches in order to make sure that your gauge is the same or very close to the gauge for the pattern so that you get the correct size. The yardage given for the top is for a top that will go to about each sizes natural waist.

For the top, I used Audine Wools Interlock in colorway Pigment. I wanted a top that really POPPED for summer. However, this top would look awesome in a variety of different colors, both solid and variegated.

The ease listed in pictures is the ease around the bust area.
