Andiron Crop
Andiron Crop features lots of texture with an all over knit-purl pattern, dimensional cables at the center front, and squishy garter stitch trims. The cropped silhouette is perfect for layering over dresses or tunics, and there are instructions for both a fitted body and a relaxed body without waist shaping. Choose a solid or semi-solid yarn to show off the texture - or go undyed and showcase the natural beauty of wool.
This pattern requires knowledge of basic cables, increasing, decreasing, picking up stitches, and seaming. All stitch patterns are fully written and fully charted so you can work with your preferred method, and the pattern also includes a tutorial on working partial stitch pattern repeats. Detailed schematics and measurement tables in both inches and cm are included, as well as modification tips for making a longer top.
