From FibreMood:

This cropped sweater that only just reaches the waist has a round neckline, decorative inserts and batwing sleeves. What makes the Stella sweater such a versatile model is that a different effect can be created depending on which fabric is used.

Fabric advice

You can achieve a different look depending on the type of fabric used. 

We made a version from three different fabrics: a fine knitted fabric with stripes and glitter, a red interlock knit and a gray ribbed jersey. 

The neck, hem and wrist trims are made out of sweatshirt trim. 

Using sweater knit or French terry cloth is also a great option. 

By using a stripe print fabric, you can create visual interest by alternating how the stripes are cut each time. Are you using a solid, but want to avoid ending up with just another boring garment? Why not try sewing some pretty fringes and ribbons onto the sweater?
