Quarantine Crop | Knitting Pattern

The Quarantine Crop knitting pattern makes a drop-shoulder cropped sweater with short sleeves and a lot of ease. It is worked in pieces – a front and back panel, and sleeves are picked up from the body. It is knit from two yarns (one worsted/aran and one DK/worsted) that, marled together, make a chunky-bulky gauge.
