Cropped Topper

Discover the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe with this trendy cropped top knitting pattern! Featuring a simple yet elegant openwork design, this casual and breathable top is separated by charming knitted ridges that create a relaxed, non-structured silhouette. It's ideal for layering over your favorite tank top or slipping on over a bathing suit for a chic beach look.

Designed to be worked as a single piece and elegantly folded at the shoulder, this versatile pattern includes easy-to-follow instructions for stitching the sides to form comfortable arm openings. To ensure a polished finish, we recommend using cast-on and bind-off techniques that offer a similar appearance, such as the Cable Cast On and Cable Bind Off methods for a uniform neck opening and bottom edge.

This delightful stitch pattern comes both written and charted, catering to different knitting preferences. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, you'll enjoy crafting this stylish piece. For reference, our model measures 32", while the sample piece is 28.5", making it easy to customize to your desired size.

Note: The yarn used in the sample is no longer available, but we’ve provided some fantastic substitution suggestions in the Kit Builder below to help you get started on your knitting journey.

Embrace your creativity and fashion sense by knitting this lovely cropped top—perfect for summer days and breezy evenings!
