The Rays Crop is a great everyday sweater, perfect for mixing and matching with your existing wardrobe in endless combinations! Knit from the top down in the round, the yoke features slipped sts which radiate outward on a garter stitch background. Below the sleeve divide, the remainder of the sweater is worked in garter stitch. Knit the design as is, in a fashionable cropped length, or simply add a few more inches to the body for a more traditional sweater.
