I created the pattern for this crop top back in 2015 but never publish it in this blog until recently when someone saw the picture of this crop top on my Instagram and asked me about it.

I've uploaded a video tutorial for this crop top on my YouTube channel, so if you can't understand any part of this pattern please checkout the video.
