Big Bobble Crop

This cute, boxy crop features oversized bobbles and a folded neckline. The pattern is knit from the top down, starting with the back knit flat to the armhole split. Then shoulders are picked up and worked to the neck join and the front is worked to the armhole split. You then join the front and back to work the remainder of the body in the round. The neckline is picked up and worked in the round then folded in. Finally the armhole stitches are picked up and worked in the round. **SIZES** Measurements given are for the finished garment.
