Wild Rose is a stylish cropped length drop shoulder sweater, featuring pretty bands of colourwork to the body and lower sleeves. The cropped style is enhanced by a deep ribbed hem, cuffs and neckline.

Wild Rose is knitted bottom up flat in four pieces (back, front and sleeves). The neckband is picked up and worked in the round to finish. The sleeve and body length may be customised according to your preference, but please factor in any extra yarn needs to allow for this.
