Whimsy
Cropped sweaters done right are everything. They can accent your favorite dress or pair with a blouse or tank (Allure! Moxie!). Whimsy features side openings with braided closures, top-down set-in just-the-right-puff seamless sleeves and ribbing à la Moxie. That deep u-neck is perfect for showing off whatever you’ve got underneath that day. In fact, some of the images here show it layered over my Allure cami, I just love the little peeks! And if I still haven’t convinced to you to try a crop, just keep knitting to whatever length brings you the most joy. Sweater is shown in Size 3 with 3”/7.5 cm at Upper Bust. Pattern is written for intermediate level knitters ready to tackle this construction method; video tutorials are also available to help you knit this style with ease.
