DIY Kit - Super Cropped Sweater
This sweater is knit in two separate pieces: the back panel and front panel. Each panel is worked flat from the bottom up in rib and seed stitch. The front panel additionally splits into the front left and front right, with stitches cast off in the middle for the neckline. After both panels are knit, they are seamed together at the shoulders. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the edges of both body panels and worked in the round. Each sleeve is worked in seed stitch; the cuffs are worked in rib. The sides are seamed.

NOTE: A tapestry needle may be helpful when seaming and securing all loose ends.
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.
