Shadesmar Crop Top

Job type Test knit
Description

The Shadesmar Crop Top is inspired by the cognitive realm of the Cosmere in many of Brandon Sanderson’s series. Here landscapes are inverted from the
physical realm and cities are built of ideas.

This top is knit from the bottom up. The body is knit in the round up to the underarm and the front panel and straps are then worked flat and seamed to the back.
