DIY KNIT CROP TOP PATTERN
I am so happy to finally be able to share this pattern with you in collaboration with Sirdar!
The top is really easy to make if you want to make your own and I highly recommend this pattern for beginners in knitting as well!
The yarn used for this crop top is Hayfield Chunky with Wool (Muscat 696) and 15mm (U.S 19) straight needles! The design is pretty much straighforward, simple yet very elegant! I think this would make a lovely gift or even a great piece for your own fashion wardrobe.
