Jupiter Crop

The Jupiter Crop is a cute, top down sweater inspired by our handsome Rooster, Jupiter! Allover colorwork keeps this design fun and flying off your needles! A few rounds with 3 colors to carry add a tiny bit of challenge to keep things interesting. Top- down design means you can try this sweater on as you go, so you can alter the length as needed for your perfect fit.
