Inspired by the dazzling divas of disco, the Elio halter top is reborn with a softer, more sensual touch. This is a piece that whispers luxury but still packs a punch. Think disco queen turned dreamy poet: silky yarns, subtle shimmer, and just enough sass to turn heads.

Evolved from the glittering decadence of Studio 54, Elio brings comfort without compromising on attitude—a tribute to those who crave glam without the glitter bomb, who want to feel powerful in softness, and who aren’t afraid to show a little skin. It’s flirtatious, fearless, and definitely not for the faint of heart.

Whether you’re dancing under lights or basking in golden hour, Elio is your go-to for making an entrance—and an impression.

This pattern has been tech edited and awaiting test crochet & knit beyond sample.
