This top can be made with any kind of yarn and hook size you prefer. To get the perfect fit for your body, make as many rows you need to cover ¾ of your back and make sure it can stretch until it covers your whole back. The numbers of row must end in odd numbers.

Sorry my voice was groggy in this video because I recorded the audio at 2 am in the morning.

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.
