Sunrise Summit Crop Knitting Pattern
The perfect cropped sweater to hike up a mountain in on chilly mornings or relax by the campfire after a perfect summer day. Featuring a sunburst yoke to highlight your gorgeous face, a mountain range motif on the bottom hem, and an optional treeline design around the sleeve cuff. This size inclusive sweater is knit top down and seamless for a simple construction and frequent try-ons to get the fit you want.
Skill Level: Intermediate or Advanced. The sweater itself is not difficult, but does involve quite a bit of colorwork. I would recommend having prior colorwork experience before starting this sweater.
