The Moonsun Crop is a simply constructed tank top with an intarsia landscape pattern on both the front and back. Any four colors can be used to create the abstract images, with the goal being to use opposite colors on each side. Knit in worsted weight, the Moonsun Crop is a quick knit and serves as a great beginner-friendly introduction to intarsia color work.
