The Top3000 is a collaboration with Luna of Stricken3000. It’s a fun sequin top with some sheer details and i-cord straps that can be sewn down or tied into a halter neck. It is knit bottom up and includes some simple waist and bust shaping.

This pattern has been tested and professionally tech edited.
