Biscotti Crop

Biscotti Crop is the perfect summer top. It uses sport weight yarn with a textured knit pattern to create a fun, quick knit! It was designed using the beautiful MO Sport from local Nashville dyer Modus Operandi Fibers.

The pattern has no upper or lower size limits, it is completely and automatically customized to your body using a few of your unique measurements and an accompanying spreadsheet. The pattern also makes no assumptions about your body proportions (or parts) for a truly inclusive knit.

Sizing Info: Like all Swanky Emu Knits patterns, Biscotti Crop is a size inclusive and has absolutely no size limits. The pattern asks you to input 4 of your body measurements (in inches or cm) and then calculates the pattern from there.

Gauge and Yarn information: A precise gauge of 26 stitches and 10 rows per 4” (10 cm) is critical for this pattern and any sport-weight yarn you like may be used.

Yardage Required: As so many pieces of the garment are customizable to your measurements, precise yardage recommendations are challenging to give. However, use the following charts as a guide.
