Digital Download of my Halter Ego Crop Top Pattern! This pattern is written for sizes XS-5XL.

A chunky knit, summer crop top! This is a top that is destined to become a staple in your summer wardrobe. The pattern is easy enough that even an advanced beginner should be able to create it! This is a very fun and QUICK project which will leave you wanting to create one in every color. PLUS, I have included two patterns in one! There is an option to create a solid color top, as well as a two color top.
The solid color top is very beginner friendly. And as a bonus, there is no seaming required! It is as simple as blocking and wearing it!
The two color top is a little more complex, and requires some seaming at the end. I recommend you watch a few videos on intarsia knitting before you try it out!
