How To Knit A Crop Top

Today I would like to share with you a pattern for a crop top. It's a pretty straightforward knit that can become the perfect vacation project, as it doesn't require much yarn, knits up fast and it's very easy to make.In the simple knit piece as this one, yarn will play the main role. I love the ribbon yarn for this project, because the thread is wide, which is very fast to knit, but because of the nature of the thread, it is very light. Plus, it creates a textured surface, even when used with the simplest stitch patterns.

I chose "purl" side as the right side of the fabric, but if you feel like it you can definitely use it as a reversible top and wear it with any side facing up - so many designers use the visible seam as the decorative element now. And at the end of a day, it is a casual crop summer top, it doesn't have to be perfect :)

I made two versions of it in different colors.

Pattern can be found here - BAJA CROP TOP. And video version is below!

Note: As you can see, I chose "purl" side as the right side of the fabric, but you can flip it over and stay with the classic stockinette stitch - just seam the pieces on reverse, with knit side facing up.

I hope you will use this pattern this summer and create your own simple Crop Top.

Have a wonderful day today!
