The Gift Of Knitting - California Crop WATG Top
Happy Sunday! This weekend I finally had a chance to take photos of my California crop top I made with ribbon cotton yarn Stone Washed by Wool and the Gang. Summer crop top was on my must-knit list for ages, but for some reason I kept postponing it, maybe because my stash yarn didn't sparkle the imagination - nothing felt as the perfect match for this kind of project. But when you find the right yarn, you have to go for it!Ribbon yarn creates a very interesting fabric that has some structure to it, without losing its drape. It worked perfectly for the loose cropped shape of the top - it keeps its form, without being too stiff.
I improvised the pattern, but kept my notes. I will post the instructions for it and all the FO details next week, so if you feel like it, you can repeat it for yourself or your dear ones. It is a very quick and relaxing project to work on, I'm sure you will like it! I used only three skeins of Stone Washed for it. This is a great project to take with you on your summer vacation - you don't need to pack lots of yarn, the process is pretty simple and straightforward and as it's short and sleeveless, you'll be able to finish it in several afternoons.
California crop top is for hot summer days; for unplanned road trips with dear friends; for signing along Pink Floyd way too loud in the car; for messy hair and sun burned skin...
Have a wonderful Sunday with your dear ones!
