DIY Kit - Puff Sleeve Crop Top
The body of this top is worked flat in two separate pieces. The front panel is worked in garter stitch and the back panel is worked in stockinette, but the finished garment is reversible — in other words, you can wear it so that the stockinette panel is on the front and the garter panel is on the back. Once the two body panels are completed, they are seamed together at the shoulders and underneath the armholes. Sleeve stitches are then picked up from the body of the garment, and the sleeves are worked in the round.

Care: Hand wash or machine wash cold, tumble dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. As our cotton is chunky, un-mercerized, and minimally processed to preserve the fiber’s natural softness and elasticity, it is more prone to shedding. Washing and drying should help alleviate this. For further information and tips, please consult our Fiber Care Guide.
